You Work Best When You...Drink Celery Juice?
Celery Juice; the latest wellness trend that everyone is talking about and instagram’s most recent phenomenon. I’m sure one way or another you have heard about it or perhaps you have succumbed to social media peer pressure and have already tried it for yourself?
So why is this ‘magic juice’ so popular and what is it all about? Its recommended usage is that you should have one 16oz glass of celery juice every morning on an empty stomach, even before you’ve drunk any water, and wait around 30 minutes before eating breakfast.
The health benefits are endless, according to the Medical Medium (whom I first heard about celery juice through on Instagram) and there are so many incredible healing stories out there. The Medical Medium shares a lot of ‘before and after transformations on his Instagram page and some of them really are mind-blowing. The benefits of incorporating celery juice into your diet include clearer skin, improved digestion, less bloating, sustained energy, better mental clarity, weight loss, and more stable moods.
Two of the benefits above really jumped out at me. Would you like to have better mental clarity and sustained energy on a daily basis? I certainly do - just tell me how!
Also, many of you reading this will probably agree that having a more stable mood is always a huge positive. We all have our down days or days where we feel like we really just can’t be bothered (the word ‘hormones’ may spring to mind!). But, it’s how we uplift ourselves to deal with these feelings and get that glow back that’s important, and a glass of celery juice every morning may be the answer you’re looking for!
Sustained energy and better mental clarity are pivotal in ensuring your working day are as healthy and productive as it possibly can be. There are lots of fancy words and meanings to describe how drinking this juice can help our bodies, but we will keep it nice and simple (for those of you that are familiar with biology jargon and want to understand in more depth, read some more here).
Simply put, celery is a major alkaline food that helps to clear the body of acid and toxins as well as cleansing the liver and bloodstream. It is also extremely hydrating and restores the entire digestive system. By doing this, it puts our hearts and minds at ease and has a significant calming effect on our bodies, in turn having a hugely positive effect on how we go about our day-to-day lives.
It’s also important to note that drinking celery juice should come hand-in-hand with a healthy lifestyle and fairly nutritious diet. In other words, please don’t have a 16oz glass every morning and expect to see benefits if you eat junk food all day long! In an ideal world, eating pizza every day is the dream, but unfortunately, you’re unlikely to see the real benefits of celery juice if you do this.
I can vouch for the fact that it actually DOES work. I suffer from fairly bad psoriasis and after having celery juice every morning for only 2 weeks, I started to notice a big difference (I was truly amazed!!). However, please be aware that our bodies work in different (and mysterious) ways and it may not necessarily work in the same way for everyone. That said, it’s always reassuring to know someone who has tried it and has seen results first-hand. I also felt so much more energized throughout the day having had a glass in the morning - so much so that I significantly cut down my daily coffee intake (yes, really!).
Everyone at Primary knows you work best when you feel great, and you feel great when you drink celery juice, so… you do the math!
Side note - if I have inspired you to get on the celery juice hype (I won’t be offended if not), you will need a juicer to get started. Here’s some research of a good recommendation for you all, reasonably priced and easy to clean with most parts being dishwasher safe too.
Happy juicing!
