Celery Juice Tips

Now that you know all of the pros of drinking celery juice, we want to share a couple extra tips for you to make the most out this health elixir:

  • Drink It On Empty Stomach: Since the main goal of drinking celery juice is feeling energized, we encourage you to drink it on an empty stomach and as a part of your morning ritual. Note* this is not a caloric drink so it can not be used as a supplement of a balanced/healthy breakfast.
  • Drink Sixteen Ounces Of Pure Celery Juice: Avoid mixing it with other fruits and adding any sweetener or artificial product.
  • Drink Immediately: After 24 hours of being made, celery juice can lose some of its medical properties, so we encourage you to drink it right away.
  • Use Organic Celery: By using organic celery you are avoiding chemicals and nasty pesticides on your food and in your body, so we highly recommend you to look for the organic kind. If you are not able to find it, we urge you to carefully wash and disinfect it beforehand.

What To Expect (My Personal Experience)

After only a few days of joining the IG trend of drinking celery juice every day in the morning, I started noticing many benefits in the following aspects:

  • Clear Skin: After drinking celery juice for a couple of days, I started noticing that the pimples on my face and back started diminishing. 
  • Better Gut Health: Since the first day I had been noticing a huge reduction in bloating and an increased bowel activity.
  • Weight Loss: This happened (at least to me) due to the fact that drinking liquids before breakfast makes me eat less, and also because of celery`s dihuretic properties.

Overall, I can say that I felt lighter, and healthier, because (at least to me) it makes me feel like I started my morning off right. So on a response of the main question (Is Celery Juice Healthy?), I can say yes, celery juice is healthy, and yes it does make you feel way better. Overall, it’s not a miracle potion that will solve all your health issues, however, it does make a huge difference when it comes to skin, and gut health. 

Remember, health is built on our daily choices and even the smallest change can become a huge difference in a long way. Make a conscious decision and take a step towards a better health today. You deserve it!
