Hello friends, everyone is back in my post, and this time I will give a little more information about the benefits of celery and the side effects of consuming celery in excess .. but before that we will discuss a little about the unique facts about celery that rarely people know.
Giving flowers to the people we love in life certainly leaves a deep meaning for them. And flowers have become a symbol of our respect or as a form of our affection for someone. Likewise with people who have died, our tradition is usually to always bring flowers to the funeral as a form of our respect and affection for them, then what is the relationship between flowers and celery?
It turns out that there is a unique fact about celery, the ancient Greeks brought celery to the cemetery instead of the flowers.
HOW COULD THAT BE..??
The pungent smell of celery and its quite intense color was believed by the ancient Greeks to have a positive impact on people who have died.
Not only that, they also use celery as a form of their affection for someone like the flowers we give to someone..
Let's leave first about the unique facts of celery which was used as a symbol of love from the ancient Greeks and we turn to the benefits of celery for our health... What are the benefits of celery?
1.Lowers cholesterol
Not only as a kitchen ingredient, it turns out that celery can also lower cholesterol levels. A 2014 study proved that celery is indeed able to lower bad cholesterol levels or also known as LDL, and if there is too much bad cholesterol in our body, it can be at risk of causing a stroke. and extracts from celery can lower this LDL
2.Lowering blood pressure
The next benefit of celery is that it can lower blood pressure, research conducted in 2014 by the Journal of Medicinal Food proved that celery seeds can lower blood pressure.
However, these experiments were carried out on animals and for further stages it is necessary to prove their validity against tests on humans.
3.prevent dehydration
The next benefit of celery is that it can prevent dehydration, a study in 2011 proved that celery contains quite a lot of water in it even ranging from 90 to 99%. So don't be surprised if celery can prevent our body from dehydration
If there is a positive impact of course there will be a negative impact, Likewise with celery if there is a positive impact on health, of course celery can also have a negative impact if consumed in excess.
WHAT ARE THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF CELERY..??
