How to use celery to lose weight properly?

Does celery help you lose weight?

Nowadays, many people choose to use celery juice or water mixed with celery powder to lose weight and purify the body. According to Dr. Huynh Tan Vu, Ho Chi Minh City Medical and Pharmaceutical Hospital, celery does not directly help lose weight. Using celery juice or powder helps users feel full for a long time, limiting calorie intake and is only considered to support weight loss.

Celery is both a cooking ingredient and a natural medicine needed for health.

Weight loss and fat burning depend on a calorie deficit (energy intake is lower than expenditure). Meanwhile, celery juice is relatively low in calories, about 85 calories/500ml.

Therefore, using celery juice to replace high-calorie drinks such as carbonated soft drinks, milk tea... helps with weight loss.

However, long-term weight loss effectiveness does not lie in a single food such as celery or any other food, but requires building a reasonable diet combined with regular exercise.

Accordingly, people with low blood pressure, kidney disease or skin diseases, pregnant women should not use celery juice to avoid unwanted side effects. In addition, if you are taking medication, you should consult your doctor before adding celery to your menu.

According to Dr. Vu, the best time to drink celery juice is 30 minutes before breakfast. This will help limit the intake of too many calories in the meal, at the same time, the digestive system will be better, preventing constipation as well as bloating...
