Let’s chat about celery juice! It’s all the rage in the health community right now, but I only just discovered it, and now everyone is asking me why I’ve been drinking it every morning.
Recently, I found out I have an overactive thyroid, and after reaching out for advice, someone suggested I try celery juice, as recommended by the Medical Medium. I had heard of him before and immediately went to the store to grab some celery. For the past two weeks, I’ve been drinking it consistently. While I can’t say it completely healed my thyroid since I’m not drawing my own blood, I have noticed a few positive changes.
First, my energy levels have improved significantly. Since I don’t drink coffee, I’ve never had that morning boost, but celery juice has made a noticeable difference in helping me get going in the morning. Plus, my skin is looking clearer and more radiant. I’ve made a few changes to my routine, but this glow is on another level. Also, my heart rate, which used to be a constant bother due to my hyperthyroid condition, has calmed down.
Drinking straight celery juice feels really beneficial. Even though I’m not a fan of eating celery, drinking it is easy and feels as if my body appreciates it. I don’t eat terribly, but I’m not the healthiest eater either. Starting my day with celery juice has motivated me to make better food choices as the day goes on.
I’m not a scientist, so I don’t fully understand why celery juice is so impactful, but here’s what I’ve learned from the Medical Medium:
– It’s believed to have potent healing properties that can help with chronic illnesses and significantly improve health. It’s considered by some as one of the best healing tonics.
– Celery juice acts as a powerful detox, helping to flush out gut toxins like viruses and bad bacteria. It also supports liver and heart health.
– It has an antioxidant called luteolin, which helps reduce inflammation throughout the body.
– Regular consumption can reduce bloating, enhance skin health, improve digestion, boost immunity, sharpen the mind, and increase energy levels.
– It’s said to help cleanse the body of the virus causing thyroid issues, which is why I started reading the “Thyroid Healing” book by the Medical Medium as I’m on a journey to heal naturally.
– An added benefit is that it supports the nervous system, which is great for easing anxiety.
There’s some debate on whether you can just eat celery instead of juicing it. From what I’ve researched, juicing it is more effective because it removes the pulp, intensifying its healing properties. You also consume much more celery when it’s juiced, which helps with toxin removal.
Here are some tips for enjoying celery juice:
– Drink 16 ounces of fresh celery juice every morning on an empty stomach. If that’s not strong enough, try increasing it to 24 ounces.
– It should be consumed by itself without mixing other veggies. If the taste is too much at first, you can add a little cucumber or green apple, but aim to gradually drink it straight.
– To save time, chop your celery the night before so it’s ready to blend in the morning. Freshness is best!
– Make sure you’re using organic celery.
– You might notice some benefits in just a week, so keep at it!
– It’s a potent detox, so if you have chronic illnesses, you might feel extra tired or experience an upset stomach while your body adjusts. It also speeds up digestion, so initial bloating might occur.
To make celery juice, grab a large bundle of organic celery:
Option 1: Rinse and juice it.
Option 2: If, like me, you dislike the mess of juicing, blend it. Rinse, chop, blend until smooth, and strain through a nut milk bag.
