Whether you’re on social media or you’re not, you have probably seen the new morning ritual that is taking the world by storm: juicing a handful of celery, and drinking it. Drinking celery juice has many positive benefits. I understand if you think this might be a total sham, but just trust me. After I explain how it has completely transformed my body, you’ll be on your way to your local grocery store.

Let’s dive into some facts about the vegetable. Celery contains lots of vitamin C and K, as well as folate and potassium. Studies show that celery juice may help fight cancer and liver disease, reduce inflammation, and boost cardiovascular health. Celery also supports weight loss, it has healing properties for the skin, it prevents high blood pressure, fights infections, and even helps with digestion problems. To get optimal results, you should be drinking about sixteen ounces of plain celery juice with no other ingredients.

The main reason that I started to drink celery juice was because I had terrible hormonal acne along my jawline as well as digestion issues. I suffered from acne most of my high school life and have probably used hundreds or creams and retinoids, as well as oral medicine. I found about about celery juice through social media, and the reason I started was because I read about its skin healing properties as well as flushing out toxins from the body. I’m not going to lie, the first few days of drinking the juice, I held my nose and chugged. However, you get used to it. Over the course of a few months, my skin became smoother, clearer, and brighter. Not only has my skin improved since I’ve started, but it also caused me to feel much more energized. As an added bonus, it helped me shed extra water weight and made my bathroom visits more scheduled.
