I speak mainly of green celery, the most common and we can find it in a simple way in markets or stores. Of course it is a vegetable that has a very high content in water, 95%. So every 100 grams of celery we will have little more than 15 calories. Its diuretic properties are given by the presence of essential oils of celery and by an element present in asparagus as well. Although it must be said that as in other cases these components are more abundant in the leaves and seeds. Celery is also rich in vitamins, B1, B2 and B16. On the other hand it also has a good amount of mineral salts, potassium and sodium. It is very fibrous and also benefits intestinal transit. And as many similar vegetables help to lower cholesterol, lower hypertension and ultimately very good for the cardiovascular system, our heart will appreciate it.
