It is only a matter of time before the next dietary “craze” hits the holistic wellness community, but most recently, celery juice has become the latest trend. Celery, a member of the carrot family, is being called the next superfood due to its high levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Like carrots, celery has a high amount of vitamin K and A. It is also jam-packed with potassium, vitamin C, and even dietary fiber. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are due to naturally found chemicals called phytonutrients. While this healthy snack is low in calories, it is higher in sodium, so those who are mindful of sodium intake should limit their daily celery intake.
The two well-known antioxidants found in celery are called apigenin and luteolin, which both aid a variety of inflammatory conditions, such as allergies and arthritis. In addition to inflammatory diseases, apigenin and luteolin have been found to reduce the number of cancer cells, lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and improve overall cardiac health. Despite these fantastic health claims, some people have an allergy to celery, which can be evident through a mild to severe reaction. Usually, symptoms of a celery allergy include skin reactions, digestive problems, and respiratory consequences. In rare cases, anaphylaxis may develop after ingesting celery. Anaphylaxis is severe and considered life-threatening, which is characterized by difficulty breathing due to a swollen and inflamed airway.
For those fortunate to not have an allergy to this nutrient-packed food, there are a variety of easy recipes for a quick snack. Let’s read below.
1. Celery & Peanut Butter
2. Celery & Hummus
3. Stuffed Celery
a. Some recipes can be found on the internet that suggests chicken salad or buffalo chicken dip with celery.
4. Celery Juice
a. To make celery juice, cut the root and the ends of the celery, wash it, and then put it through a juicer.
b. Be aware that when juicing celery, fiber is removed, which in and of itself reduces many benefits of celery.
Celery is just one of the many vegetables that are currently being ‘juiced.’ However, many people are using juices as a way to ‘detox’ and lose weight. These types of diets are not encouraged by the general medical community, and they should certainly not be considered long-term. The belief that weight loss may occur through juicing may be accurate, but the weight will not be kept off when you stop juicing and start eating whole foods again. Eating fruits and vegetables in their solid form is generally the encouraged method of consumption. Without the fiber, which is removed when juicing any fruit or vegetable, the sugar found in the food is absorbed more quickly. Fiber prolongs the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, in turn, reducing blood sugar levels.
In conclusion, while celery juice is all the rage, and it does promote vegetable consumption, it should not be the only ingested food source. It should also not be consumed solely as a detox. Sure, juicing is a clever way to sneak in fruits and vegetables, but it should never replace eating them in the natural whole food form. Connect with Shifa4U for more lifestyle and dietary tips.

Please note that these services are not intended for any emergency medical situations. If you are having a life-threatening or serious condition that may require hospitalization, including, but not limited to, high-grade fever; low or high blood pressure; active serious infection, including, but not limited to, COVID; chest pain; shortness of breath; severe pain; or stroke-like symptoms, please call 911 immediately or go to a nearby emergency center as quickly as possible.
If you do not have a physician's order for labs or non-invasive radiology services, you may request it through our network of affiliated physicians/providers in selected states for an additional non-refundable fee, as listed (asynchronous consultation). Please note that an asynchronous consultation or physician-order service for diagnostics is not available for radiology tests requiring IV contrast. Patients needing a diagnostic study with IV contrast must complete an online visit with our physician first and, likely, will also need to have a lab test for their kidney function before a diagnostic study with IV contrast can be scheduled.
Once you request our provider or physician's order service, you will receive an email from us inquiring more details about your medical history. Based on the information you provide, one of our affiliated physicians or providers will make a determination about processing the order for the requested service. In some cases, as determined by our affiliated medical team, you may be required to provide additional clinical information or may be asked to have a more detailed online visit (an additional fee may apply) before your order can be processed. Please note that in some situations, or based on available clinical information, our team may even decide not to process the requested diagnostic order service and rather may recommend you to seek immediate medical attention in person or go to the nearest urgent care or ER. In that case, any advanced payment for the diagnostic service(s) will be refunded, but the physician's consultation or order request fee will remain non-refundable.
Please also note that any post-diagnostic service follow-up visit(s) or treatment(s) is not covered in this service fee and the ordering physician is not responsible to provide any continued care unless you sign-up for that service separately. Depending on your situation or test results, you may be advised to seek consultation with either primary care or a specialist physician (local or online) for further work-up and treatment. If you are unsure or have any questions, please call our customer support service before placing an order.
