∙ 13y agoYes celery is healthy for you. It gives you vitamins and energy. Its also very good.
One cup of celery is a meager 16 calories, but provides a generous 5% DV helping of vitamin C, 9%DV of vitamin A, and whopping 45% DV of vitamin K. These are all essential nutrients for the body to function properly, and daily intake of them is necessary. The high concentration of vitamin K acts as a diuretic in the body, helping it to flush excess fluids out of the body and detoxify the body.
Celery also contains a compound known as phthalides, which is currently being studied as a potential catalyst for blood pressure reduction. In animals, phthalides help relax the muscles around arteries, which allows blood to flow more freely through them, reducing blood pressure. This has yet to be proven in humans, but studies indicate that this may be the case.
It's odd that celery may reduce blood pressure, as it does contain relatively high amounts of salt for its caloric content. Too much salt in our diet is largely responsible for the high blood pressure epidemic currently taking place in the US right now. But, taken in the context of the overall diet, one stalk of celery provides only 2% of your recommended intake of salt. Potentially, the positive effects of phthalates greatly outweigh the small addition of salt to the diet.
