compounds known as coumarins. Studies have shown that they are effective in
cancer prevention and capable of enhancing the activity of certain white blood cells.
Coumarin compounds also lower blood pressure, tone the vascular system, and are
possibly effective when used in cases of migraines. Due to the high levels of
potassium and sodium, when celery-based juices are consumed after a workout they
serve as great electrolyte replacement drinks. Studies have also shown that celery

source of vitamin C and fiber. It
is a very good source of folic
