Drinking celery juice to lose weight every morning is a trend that is being chosen by many people because it helps to improve overall health and bring a more balanced physique.
1. What nutrients does celery juice have?
Celery juice is said to have a number of benefits such as helping with weight loss, improving gut health, and beautifying the skin. To make your own celery juice, you can either squeeze the stalks of celery or grate and filter out the pulp. A large bunch of celery (about 9 stalks) can produce 475ml of juice.
This vegetable is rich in nutrients, including folate, potassium, manganese, vitamins A, C and K. In addition, it is a rich source of riboflavin, vitamin B6, calcium, pantothenic acid, magnesium and phosphorus. Celery juice can be drunk whole or mixed with other fruits and vegetables. This helps to better balance the nutrition of fruit and vegetable juices.
2. Can celery juice lose weight?
Many people think: Drinking 475ml of celery juice every morning will help break down and dissolve fat cells accumulated in the liver. However, this is a concept that still lacks scientific evidence and needs further research.
Actually, celery juices lose weight, but in other ways. Specifically, your weight depends on how many calories you consume during the day. Since celery juice is relatively low in calories (475ml provides only 85 calories), it can be beneficial to replace higher calorie beverages (such as sugary coffee or soft drinks). For those who are on a weight loss regimen. In addition, drinking low-calorie beverages such as celery before a meal also helps promote feelings of fullness, making you eat less.
3. Other Benefits of Celery Juice
In addition to aiding in weight loss, celery juice has several benefits such as:
Anti-inflammatory properties: Celery juice contains many plant compounds that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. Flavonoids are the main phytonutrients found in celery, which help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer; Controls blood pressure: The nitrate levels in celery promote heart health and lower blood pressure; Lowers cholesterol: Celery can lower cholesterol levels in the body. However, this is only the result of animal studies, so more studies will be needed to confirm this benefit.
4. Some limitations of celery juice
Besides the benefits, celery juice also has some limitations as follows:
Low fiber: When using celery juice, you will not be consuming beneficial plant-based fiber. 1 bunch of celery with about 9 stalks contains about 9g of fiber. While with that amount, if pressed to get 475ml of water, it only contains a negligible amount of fiber. Fiber has many benefits for weight control and digestive health; Increase sodium intake: Celery juice causes the body to absorb too much sodium. Celery is a vegetable that is naturally high in sodium. 1 stalk of celery has up to 32mg of sodium and 475ml of celery juice contains more than 400mg of sodium. It is recommended that adults consume no more than 2,300mg of sodium per day. If you already consume a lot of salt, 1 glass of celery juice can also cause you to consume more than the recommended amount of sodium. Excess sodium in the body can cause high blood pressure. Therefore, people at risk of developing high blood pressure should exercise caution when drinking this juice. While celery juice is a healthy, low-calorie beverage, the key to long-term weight loss doesn't lie in a single food. Instead, you need to combine regular exercise with a healthy, scientific diet for better weight loss.
