Celery Nutritional Value

According to the USDA Food Central Database, a medium stalk of celery (40 g) contains 5.6 calories and 1.2 g carbs. This makes it a universally loved low-calorie snack option. The stalk contains 38.2 grams of water and is great for hydration. 100 g of raw celery contains minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and potassium. It also contains vitamins A, K, C, E, and B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin, and vitamin B6). 

Health Benefits Of Celery

The health benefits of celery include the following:

Can Have Anti-inflammatory Properties

Experimental studies show that celery can potentially help reduce inflammation in the body. A 2019 study suggested that celery leaves may affect cytokines, which are immune system messenger molecules responsible for anti-inflammatory effects in the body. This is because the leaves may have high levels of bioactive compounds such as apigenin, luteolin, and kaempferol. Researchers concluded that it can be a potential ingredient for the treatment and prevention of inflammatory diseases. 

Might Help Lower Cholesterol Level

A research study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry suggests that the fiber found in celery may help reduce artery-clogging cholesterol (called LDL or bad cholesterol). 

The phthalides in these vegetables also may help stimulate the secretion of bile juices, which work to reduce cholesterol levels. Less cholesterol means less plaque on the artery walls and a general improvement in heart health. The fiber that is found in it also can work to scrape the cholesterol out of the bloodstream and eliminate it from the body with regular bowel movements, further boosting cardiovascular health.

May Reduce Blood Pressure

Celery contains organic chemical compounds called phthalides. These compounds may help lower the level of stress hormones in your blood. Also, a 2009 study revealed that it may have hypolipidemic effects on your body that allow your blood vessels to expand, giving your blood more room to move, thereby reducing pressure. It also contains potassium, which is a vasodilator and can be helpful in reducing blood pressure. When blood pressure is reduced, it puts less stress on the entire cardiovascular system and reduces the chances of developing atherosclerosis or suffering from a heart attack or stroke. 

Might Help Prevent Urinary Tract Infections

There is evidence showing that its extract has antibacterial effects as well which has further potential to prevent UTIs. A research study titled “Fruit and Vegetable Intake in Relation to Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Erectile Dysfunction Among Southern Chinese Elderly Men” claims that celery helps in reducing UTI symptoms in men as well. 

Can Help To Lower Arthritis Pain

Celery may help people suffering from arthritis, rheumatism, and gout. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and pain around the joints. The extracts, which contain 85% 3-n-butylphthalide (3nB), may prove to be effective in giving relief from arthritis and muscular pains. 

Because celery acts as a diuretic, it can be also helpful in removing uric acid crystals that build up around the body’s joints adding to the pain and discomfort.
