CELERY contains a naturally occurring chemical called "apigenin" which has been shown to dilate the blood vessels and contribute to preventing high blood pressure. Although celery is especially high in sodium (and people with high blood pressure are typically put on low-sodium diets), celery seems to lower blood pressure. One doctor claims it can lower you 40 points. This was discovered by a medical student at the University Of Chicago Medical Center whose father was diagnosed with mild hypertension. Instead of reducing sodium intake, or taking drugs, the father was given a quarter pound of celery to eat each day. After a week, his blood pressure dropped from 158/96 to 118/82.

This observation led to further study that found very small amounts of a chemical in celery called 3-n-butyl phtalide which lowered blood pressure (by relaxing the smooth muscles that line the blood vessels) in rats by 12%-14% and also lowered cholesterol by about 7%.

Rather than snacking on potato chips and junk, put out some raw carrots and celery and snack on that. I sometimes cut up some onion slices and now and then a raw potato. Celery was not used as a food until the 16th century. It was too precious. People saved it to use as a medicine. It is also good fiber. So cook with it more and find ways to get it on your dinner plate. Some like to put cream or pimento cheese on it.

Celery is a great plant that benefits our health. Its nutritional and medicinal values contain in its whole plant starting from its leaves, stalks till its roots. It is a great natural remedy to reduce the level of blood pressure and lipids without any side effects as compare to medication.


Fresh organic celery is crispy, tender and juicy. It is not only the great addition to home dishes but it also possesses pharmacological effects. The medical world has admitted its effectiveness in reducing the blood pressure and lipids.
People usually use its stalk but throw its leaves and roots away. In fact, as an ideal meal for cardiovascular disease patients, it is better to use the whole plant of celery which includes its roots, stalks, and leaves.
The mixed juices of organic celery and green apple is a good recipe to reduce blood pressure. Besides reducing blood pressure, this recipe is also good for dizziness, headache, reddish face, diuresis (urine excretion) and high blood pressure (hypertension) patients.
Ingredients:
• 250 g fresh organic celery

Method:
1. Place the celery into the boiling water for approximately 2 minutes
2. Shred the celery and apples into small pieces
3. Blend both the celery and apples for juices
For hypertension patients, it is recommended to drink a cup each time with two servings a day. Avoid taking large doses as it will further lower down the blood pressure and causes an extreme dizziness, fatigue and sleepy due to relatively low level of blood pressure. As for normal people, it is better to take this recipe once or twice a month to benefit health. Though you may use the normal celery but organic one is more ideal as it is free from any chemical and pesticide compounds. It is awful to dump the chemical and pesticide foodstuffs into your body as it may cause cancer besides weakening the immune system. This will then causes human body more vulnerable to diseases.
