MORE ON CELERY

Yesterday's post was about celery and its relationship to cancer prevention.  Today, here are a few more facts about this inexpensive, healthy food.  One of the best things about celery is that it is only 16 calories per cup or approximately 6 calories per stalk!  That makes it what is considered a negative calorie food meaning the body uses up the calories you take in to process it when you eat celery.

Another benefit of celery is that it is high in bone-building vitamin-K and trust me, as one who suffers from osteoporosis, you need to build healthy bones!  Celery is also a fiber food.

 

Enjoy celery sticks as a snack or with a sandwich.  It is easy to add celery do your diet by adding sliced or diced celery to soups, casseroles, stir-frys, etc.
