Celery is a good source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, sodium, and manganese—phenolic antioxidants that have been shown to reduce inflammation. If you are suffering from joint pains, lung infections, asthma, or acne, eating and juicing more celery will bring much-needed relief. It also helps you calm down and relieves stress. The minerals in celery, especially magnesium, soothe the nervous system. If you enjoy celery in the evening, you may sleep better. Also, celery juice may lower your blood pressure. A twenty-year animal study found that 3-n-butylphthalide, an extract found in celery, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The daily dose needed to gain this benefit appeared to be about four stalks, which explains why one might want to get it through juice.
