What drink effectively detoxifies the body
It's much simpler than you think. Celery juice has a wonderful effect on our body—it helps rid us of toxins and has many other benefits.
Benefits of celery juice for health
Celery is one of those simple, healthy vegetables that never go out of style. You might even be surprised at how nutritious this humble vegetable is. Many of these benefits are passed on in the form of juice.
Anti-inflammatory properties
Celery contains certain compounds, such as flavonoids, which help reduce inflammation in the body. Flavonoids act as shields, protecting your cells from damage caused by inflammation. Additionally, because celery is rich in vitamin C, it provides antioxidant properties.
Antioxidants help the body stay strong and fight harmful substances.
Supports lower blood pressure
Incorporating celery into your diet (in the form of juice or stalks) can also benefit your heart health. Celery contains phthalides, a phytochemical that may help relax the muscles of blood vessel walls and lower blood pressure

Detoxifying the body with celery juice
You may have heard about the benefits of detoxifying with celery juice. The idea is to eliminate solid food or certain types of food to help the body rid itself of toxins.
What does this entail? You need to consume a lot of celery juice.
The biggest concern regarding detox trends is that they are often used as a substitute for actual food. According to studies, medical professionals typically do not recommend detox cleanses.
A 2018 study also indicated that cleansing can lead to food restriction.
Juice alone cannot provide you with the daily nutrients your body needs and may result in unwanted side effects such as fatigue, dehydration, headaches, irritability, and even worse if consumed for extended periods.
The healthiest way to consume celery juice is to drink it simply as juice, rather than as a meal replacement.
In any case, it can be a great addition to an already balanced diet where you know you're getting enough protein, fiber, healthy fats, and calories that your body requires.
