But is this just a trend? Or could a glass of celery juice a day really keep the doctor away? Here&#8217;s what experts have to say:<\/p>\n<p><b>How was the trend born?<\/b><br \/>\nWe owe this trend to psychic Anthony Williams and his best-selling book\u00a0<em>The Medical Medium<\/em>, which argues that drinking 16 ounces of fresh celery juice each morning \u201ccan transform your health and digestion in as little as one week.&#8221; He claims it can help with everything from ADHD to UTIs! \u201cCelery juice\u2019s claim to recent fame is that it is said to be an amazing way to drink a wealth of vitamins and nutrients,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.karinaheinrich.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Karina Heinrich<\/a>,\u00a0a certified integrative nutritionist and health coach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the benefits?<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to Jessica Rosen, a certified holistic health coach and co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rawgeneration.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raw Generation<\/a>, celery juice contains important vitamins and minerals including magnesium, potassium, vitamin K, and vitamin C. \u201cIt\u2019s excellent for bone and heart health, the immune system, eliminating toxicity from the body, and it possesses anti-cancer properties,&#8221; says Rosen. &#8220;The drink is especially powerful in its ability to reduce inflammation and improve gut health, which can help heal a number of ailments including chronic pain, skin problems, and digestive issues,&#8221; Rosen adds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, does it really work?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere\u2019s no evidence that it\u2019s the panacea <em>The Medical Medium<\/em> claims it is. \u201cJuicing is somewhat controversial, and Anthony Williams is not a doctor or nutritionist,\u201d says Kinh DeMaree, a health and wellness coach and the founder of Modern Ancient Wellness. \u201cMost evidence that celery juice helps is anecdotal, and we don&#8217;t really have research like we do with avocados, beets, and other plant foods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there any downsides?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re convinced that <em>The Medical Medium<\/em> is on to something, a daily glass of celery juice won\u2019t hurt you. The only thing to keep in mind is that while there are benefits to drinking celery juice, there are even more advantages to <em>eating<\/em> celery. &#8220;It\u2019s important to remember that celery juice doesn\u2019t contain the beneficial fiber you find in raw, un-juiced celery,\u201d says Heinrich. \u201cMany doctors and nutritionists warn people about juicing, saying they are missing out on the cholesterol-lowering benefits by just extracting the juice,\u201d DeMaree adds.<\/p>\n<p>Want to stay on top of the latest food trends? <a href=\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/2019-food-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out 10 food trends you&#8217;re about to see everywhere<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":"You might've seen people posting on Instagram (or talking IRL) about starting their days with ...","author":7532795,"featured_media":134033,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[268,260],"tags":[],"thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/29115510\/celery.jpg","thumbnail_url_middle_card":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/29115510\/celery-386x200.jpg","formated_date":"January 29, 2019","category_name":"Life","category_icon":"https:\/\/d3vodd1ws13xud.cloudfront.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/10113832\/entertainment.svg","author_name":"Suzannah Weiss","trending":false,"sponsored":false,"random_color":"#ffccdd","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134028"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7532795"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134028"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134028\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
