Why Celery Juice?
Celery alone is obviously healthy, as most green things are. And while most of the time, the whole food or a smoothie is better than just the juice, with celery this is not the case. The whole fruit offers fiber that juicing usually eliminates. Juice is also generally higher in sugar. This is not the case with celery juice, as celery contains almost no sugar. And with an otherwise fiber rich diet, you don’t need the extra fiber.
Celery juice allows you to get the more nutrients in one serving than eating the stalk itself. Juicing magnifies its benefits by eliminating the energy it takes to digest the fibers and delivering the gut-healing, anti-inflammatory, blood-cleansing nutrients directly to your system. It is a powerful way to benefit our minds, bodies (both inside and out), and spirits.
As celery juice is medicinal, rather than sustenance, it works best when you drink it alone, rather than blended or combined. ( Although ANY juice is better than no juice)
Celery juice benefits include:
Gut Healing
Celery juice is incredibly beneficial to your gut health. Celery contains minerals and mineral salts that can boost digestion, reduce bloat, and help to reduce cravings. Taken first thing in the morning, celery juice helps you increase the absorption of the other great foods you are eating the rest of the day. And as we say at Get Pretty Nourished, you aren’t what you eat, you are what you absorb. So, get absorbing with a glass of celery juice every morning!
Anti-Inflammatory
Celery juice is incredibly anti-inflammatory. It contains luteolin, which has been proven to reduce hypertension, inflammatory disorders, and cancer. And as anyone who has ever tried an anti-inflammatory diet, it is incredibly beautifying. Inflammation affects your entire body, inside and out, and once inflammation is reduced, you will almost immediately notice a difference on your skin, your blood pressure, and potentially your weight.
Mental Clarity and Ease
One of the unfortunate side effects of unhealthy guts is fogginess and anxiety. Our minds are connected to our guts, and an unhealthy gut holds fear, lowers energy, and decreases mental clarity. Simply adding celery juice to our daily routine can help clean the gut, which in turn will increase mental clarity and give us a sense of ease and wellness.
Disease and Pathogen Fighting
Celery contains a natural organic sodium, in the form of sodium cluster salts, that is released during juicing. These sodium cluster salts are healing and can kill off pathogens, preventing viruses like shingles and bacterial infections like strep throat. The sodium cluster salts from celery juice are the only form of salt that has this capability.
Reduces Blood Pressure
You might hear “salt” or “sodium,” and be a little concerned. But, just like sugar, all forms of salt are not the same. The sodium clusters in celery juice are healing and actually reduce blood pressure. Unlike table salt, our bodies cannot get enough of the sodium that is in celery.
In addition to reducing blood pressure, the sodium cluster salts also help detox the body and restore electrolytes, all of which add to the feeling of well-being associated with drinking celery juice. Celery is rich in vitamin A, magnesium, iron, and other trace minerals, which all help to nourish the blood and body. It is incredibly hydrating and can help balance the body’s hormones and pH.

My Experience with celery juice
After spending some time reading about the medical medium and the miracle that is celery juice, I decided to try it for myself. The first day, I noticed I immediately had a bit more energy. Maybe it was a placebo. Within a week, I noticed my skin starting to glow a little more. I attribute this to the anti-inflammatory properties. I had more energy and felt a sense of bliss that I didn’t feel the week before. I can only imagine what it is doing to my insides.
I want this for you too!
The Get Pretty Nourished Celery Juice Challenge
Get Pretty Nourished is here to help you to become your most vibrant self. After my experience with it, I want you to feel the same. For the next seven days, try the Get Pretty Nourished Celery Juice Challenge.
First thing in the morning, every morning, drink 16 ounces of celery juice on an empty stomach. This is not a meal replacement, so after fifteen minutes, follow your celery juice with your regular healthful breakfast. Use organic celery, whenever possible, as celery is one of the “Dirty Dozen.” If you can’t use organic celery, wash the conventional celery especially well before juicing.
At first, 16 ounces might be too much. If you find that you have any kind of reaction or know that your body is sensitive to changes, start with a smaller amount and work your way up.
If the flavor is too strong or unappetizing at first, mix it with cucumbers or apples. You will likely adjust to the flavor after a few days, and actually begin to crave it (I know, it sounds unbelievable, but try it!). As you get used to it, begin reducing the cucumber or apple, as the celery juice is most effective when you drink it by itself.
After seven days, notice your body. Be mindful of any mental or physical changes. How do you feel? Do you feel more energetic? Lighter? Did you experience the euphoria that others have felt? Are you feeling vibrant?
I would love to hear of any changes you experience. Let me know in the comments how you feel.
