Apium graveolens is a plant species in the family Apiaceae, and yields two important vegetables known as celery and celeriac. Cultivars of the species have been used for centuries, whilst others have been domesticated only in the last 200-300 years.

Celery is one of the best healthy food in the world, which can neutralize acid and calcium in the body and purify human blood.  It prevents irregular pulse (cadiac arrhythmias), sciatica, rheumatism and gout.  It also reduces the allergy symptoms triggered by histamine.

Celery protects brains and nervous system.  It is rich in folic acid that helps the development of fetus vertebral column and reduces blood vessel congestion.   Antioxidant Vitamin C in celery protects cells from free radicals.

Celery contains beta-carotene that helps immune system and prevents lung cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer.  With the help of sunshine, the body can make beta-carotene into vitamin A that improves vision and prevents DNA mutation (variation).  The most important is that glutathione (GSH) in celery helps detoxification and prevents cancers.  Apigenin in celery also lowers blood pressure.

Eating 8 heads of celery everyday for a month may turn your blood pressure back to normal.  Besides, having celery with ginger or black pepper also prevents anemia.

Beetroot is the superstar among healthy foods in recent years.  Beetroot is rich in potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium. It is also a good source of vitamin A, B and C. Besides, beetroot has:

  • Iron, which is good for tiredness and anemia.
  • Folic acid B8 (biotin) may help production of insulin.
  • Betaine, which is a nutrient that plays an important role in the health of the cardiovascular system and reduces heart disease and stroke.
  • Zinc enzyme may help protect against fatty deposits in the liver.
  • Dimethylglycine (also known as DMG) may prevent heart disease and stroke, and also helps people cope with depression, anxiety, and stress.
  • High in fiber and antioxidant properties.

The Romans used beetroot as a treatment for fevers and constipation, amongst other ailments.  Researchers have found that drinking beetroot juice everyday can significantly lower blood pressure. Beetroot has high nitrate content that might be converted to nitric oxide by bacteria in saliva., and the chemical could dilate blood vessels and reduce blood pressure. Drinking beetroot juice before meals can improve gallstone.
