Celery Flush

In this short article we will discuss a celery flush or celery cleanse. Celery is one of of well known natural diuretics which is also famously used for culinary purposes. As you might be aware a diuretic works by increasing the flow of urine and also promotes cleansing via the kidneys and bladder. Other diuretics include dandelion leaf and golden road. An increased flow of urine and promotion of the cleansing work of kidneys and bladder means that the body is more able to get rid of waste materials which could be harmful and toxic to the body if left for a long time.

we should also be aware that besides being a diuretic celery is also rich in nutrients such as vitamin A and therefore while the body expels harmful materials fast when celery is eaten it is also nourished by the same celery flush.

I recently came across a study in which animals were given 4 stalks of celery their blood pressure fell by 13 percent and their cholesterol by 7 percent. This was said to be because celery contains active compound called pthalides, which help relax the muscles around the arteries allowing them to dilate. This process of dilating the arteries is what helps in the body to release more urine and to promote the work of the bladder and kidney in a celery flush.

The removal of water during the celery flush can also have beneficial effects on weight loss. You will therefore benefit a lot during the celery flush.

It would be better when going for a celery flush to forgo other foods for the whole day and only eat celery in its raw form and preferably as a juice so that most of the nutrients in celery could go straight into the blood stream. The celery juice should be taken liberally throughout the day of the celery flush or cleanse to benefit more.
