Celery does not directly help with weight loss According to trainer Phan Thao (Hanoi), celery juice has a number of benefits, including supporting weight loss, and improving gut and skin health.

However, people need to understand it is not a drink directly created. detoxification from the body,” explained Quang Huy. In addition, this trainer also recommends people about celery powder products. Unlike fresh celery, which helps us to receive all micronutrients, the quality of this powdered food depends quite a bit on the reputation of the manufacturing brand. “In terms of convenience, celery powder is the better choice. However, fresh celery juice is better. Drinking celery juice is very good and there is no harm if consumed in moderation. The amount is about 500 ml/day”, Quang Huy confirmed. This trainer advises people to choose large bunches of celery because they contain a lot of water and limit the pungent taste of this food.
