Is Celery Juice the Real Deal? We Asked the Experts

Humble celery packs a lot of good stuff so it's easy to see why it's on wellness mamas' radars. First off, it consists of over 95 percent water, which means it's great for hydration. According to celebrity trainer (and creator of Taylored Fitness) Brooke Taylor, its high water content aids in gut health (helping with IBS, acid reflux, constipation etc), and it can also help with reducing inflammation. Tamara Rausch, MSc (Executive MBA and project manager at Lycored) also adds that celery is very fibrous, which means it's great for adding roughage to your diet.

In addition to providing hydration, celery has anti-inflammatory properties so it can aid in healing skin, says Taylor. Some have even reported that celery juice helps with their acne and eczema.

Celery also has a rich vitamin content, which can help with everything from sun damage (vitamin A) to heart and bone health (vitamin K). Staci Shacter, MS RD LDN, nutritionist at Carillon Wellness Resort, says that a person who has a 16 ounce drink of juiced celery can get 18 percent of their daily value of vitamin A, 32 percent of their daily value of vitamin B6, 38 percent of their daily value of vitamin C, 28 percent of their daily value of potassium, 30 percent of their daily value of riboflavin and over 100 percent of their daily value of vitamin K. (She points out that while these numbers are impressive, most varieties of vegetables when juiced would give similar or better numbers.)
