Its high water content can also help keep your body hydrated, especially during hot days. Celery is also attributed to properties that help improve the skin and reduce hypertension.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tips for drinking celery juice
- Start small – If you’re new to celery juice, begin with 4 oz and gradually increase to 16 oz as your body adjusts.
- Fresh is best – Drink your juice right after making it. If you need to store it, use a sealed jar and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.
- Use what you have – Don’t worry if you don’t have a juicer. A high-speed blender and a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer work just as well.
- Consistency is key – Give it a try every day for a week and see how your body responds. Little habits add up.
- Don’t skip hydration – While celery juice is hydrating, it shouldn’t replace your regular water intake. Keep sipping water throughout the day.
- Quality over quantity. If you can get it, using organic celery to make your juice is always best. Make sure it is fresh and free of pesticides.
- It is best to use a cold press extractor. Although you can use a blender, juice extractors are best.
- Fasting. The best time to drink celery juice is on an empty stomach, just after waking up. Thus, your body will be able to absorb all the nutrients and benefits in an optimal way.
- Simple is better. Celery juice is most effective when consumed alone, without adding other ingredients. This way, you can take advantage of all the benefits of the celery juice cleanse.
- Consistency. Celery juice is not an overnight miracle cure. You should try taking it daily for at least a week to start seeing the benefits.
- Complement your diet. Although celery juice has many benefits, it should not be considered a substitute for a balanced diet rich in a variety of fruits and vegetables.
