Health Benefits of Celery Seeds
Given its abundance throughout civilization, it is no wonder that this plant was used to improve the health of people centuries ago, as it is still today. Here are five surprising health benefits of celery seed:
1. CELERY SEED HELPS SUPPORT HEALTHY BLOOD PRESSURE
High blood pressure, or hypertension, makes your heart work harder than necessary. It also contributes to the hardening of your arteries, and it can increase your risk of other heart-related issues. As such, finding ways to keep your blood pressure healthy is important.
The good news is that celery seeds – and notably, celery juice – has been shown to help reduce hypertension. According to some studies, the key to celery’s positive effects on blood pressure is due to the fact that it acts on the liver. This is important, because one type of hypertension, known as “portal hypertension,” is directly related to your liver.
ONE OF THE GREAT BENEFITS OF CELERY SEEDS IS THAT IT HELPS TO GIVE YOUR BODY MORE OF WHAT IT NEEDS TO FIGHT HYPERTENSION.
And when it comes to staying healthy, avoiding or fighting high blood pressure is important. The harder your body has to work to get blood from one place to another, including the oxygen in your blood, the more prone you are to serious health risks… Which brings me to #2 on this list…
2. CURB CHANCES OF SERIOUS ILLNESS
Another compelling reason why celery seed is great at fighting high blood pressure may be due to the relatively high level of potassium contained within celery seed. For every 100g of celery seed, for example, celery seed contains 1400mg of potassium.
Why is this important? Studies have shown that increasing your potassium intake – with celery seed extract, for example – not only helps support healthy blood pressure, but it may also significantly lower the occurrence of serious brain or heart-related ailments.
3. ANTI INFLAMMATORY POTENTIAL
The benefits of celery seed and celery seed extract offer a number of nutritional benefits that may help the body to reduce discomfort or irritation, thanks to sedanolide.
Sedanolide, one of the main chemical compounds of celery seed extract, can be used as a natural herbal remedy to reduce certain uncomfortable health conditions. This natural method for easing joint and muscle discomfort is especially helpful for people who–for whatever reason–can’t take common medications to relieve their aches and pains.
4. MINERALS THAT PACK A PUNCH
Celery seed is an excellent source of daily minerals, including manganese. Manganese plays a central role across several of the bodies’ systems including reproduction, digestion, immune, and neural systems.16 Additionally, manganese has also been linked to quicker coagulation of the blood.
With all of the possible effects of consuming celery seeds, making sure you’re getting enough can be simple. An easy way to get what you need is by adding celery seeds to your regular smoothie ingredients.
5. CELERY SEED IS A GREAT SOURCE OF FIBER
Celery seed is an excellent source of fiber. As it turns out, celery seeds contains nearly 12 grams of fiber per 100 grams.18 Why is that great? Well, fiber is a great digestive aid, so when you consume celery seeds, you’re actually giving your gut more of what it needs to do its job.
