let’s talk about celery today what it can do for you um there’s not a lot of research on celery some people might say well i’m gonna wait for the research to come out but it’s really pretty simple to do research on yourself eat some celery see if it helps you that’s your own personal study right there but celery has been known to help people with high blood pressure there are certain phytonutrients in celery and i’ve recommended celery to a lot of people and it seems to work pretty well here’s one of the phytonutrients right here but realize that this phytonutrient is in the fiber part so if you’re juicing the celery and drinking the juice you may or may not get enough so if someone were to have high blood pressure symptoms i would recommend just consuming the entire celery versus the juice you can also get celery seed extracts this is more concentrated in this phytonutrient right here so there’s a lot of benefits of celery seed extract you can get that online or at the health food store but consuming the entire stalks of celery you’re going to get most of benefits that you need with these right here also celery can help you sleep at night so if you’re going to consume three to four stalks before bed not right before bed maybe an hour or two before bed and will it kick you out of ketosis just a little bit there’s not a lot of calories in celery and also it’s just like mainly water some fiber which does not affect the blood sugars and there’s not a lot of sugar in celery in fact it’s very low on the glycemic index so of course you wouldn’t want to add peanut butter on it because that would add more calories to it but it can help you relax and help insomnia now there is higher amounts of sodium in celery but it’s nothing compared to what your daily recommendation is so it’s not going to be really off the charts celery also has potassium it has a little bit of sodium but it’s not going to be a problem some people are concerned about consuming celery because it has too much sodium you do not have to worry about that because your body needs sodium but when you consume celery especially before bed you wake up with less fluid retention so if you have puffy ankles for example celery is a really good diuretic not to mention other things in the celery other than just electrolytes next point is celery is really good for inflammation of your joints so it’s a really good anti-inflammatory especially for gout arthritis which is right here so there’s another phytonutrient that helps lower uric acid not to mention celery is alkaline so it can help alkalize the body and when you alkalize the body what happens the gout symptoms reduce greatly so no longer you’re getting these deposits of uric acid crystals just by changing the ph and alkalizing your body that shuts off so i really recommend celery about three to four stalks a day now celery is also good for UTIs urinary tract infections celery also contains a phytonutrient called apigenin which is i’ve talked about this in my summit it’s a really powerful anti-cancer phytonutrient it’s also in parsley and some other vegetables as well and as the last point i want to bring up if you have gout even though apple cider vinegar is acidic this also seems to be good for gout thanks for watching before you go if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the people in the u. s hopefully in the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call but i put the number down below so you can call and get some help
