Celery juice has once again become the most popular drink among influencers and TikTokers. And glasses with green liquid are now a mandatory feature of photos of healthy lifestyle bloggers on social networks. But the celery boom is not a new phenomenon. In 2019, Hollywood stars were already talking about it – Kim Kardashian, Miranda Kerr, Pharrell Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow. They even launched the hashtag #CeleryJuice, which collected tens of thousands of posts.
While the dangers and benefits of celery juice on an empty stomach are being discussed on the Internet, we talked with the cosmetologist, complex rejuvenation specialist, physiotherapist and nutritionist at the Sensetica spa Marina Vaulina about how to properly include a green drink in your diet. and to whom it is contraindicated.

What are the benefits of celery juice?
The passion for freshly squeezed juices and celery juice in particular did not arise today – this phenomenon has been around for many years. The benefits are obvious: vitamins B, C, E, K, PP and trace elements – magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc.
Freshly squeezed juice strengthens the immune system, the cardiovascular system, has antimicrobial, diuretic, mild laxative effects, as well as anti-nicotine effects – good information for those who plan to quit smoking.
Who should not drink celery juice?
But freshly squeezed juices (including celery juice) are contraindicated in:
– People with peptic ulcers, gastritis and any acute disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, as they contain many extractive substances that increase inflammation and pain.
— Pregnant women in the third trimester and nursing mothers (increases uterine tone).
— Be careful for elderly people (65+).
How to juice celery correctly?
You can safely take up to 100 ml of fresh juice per day, but it is better to start with 2-3 tablespoons or dilute with water. Those who lose weight should remember that any juice can increase your appetite, and what is more important is what and how much you eat next.
I recommend smoothies rather than fiber-free juices; this is a very important substrate for the gut microbiota, does not cause insulin spikes, improves food movement and helps eliminate fats. For example, a smoothie made with celery, carrots, cucumber and apple in a 1:1 ratio.
Negative calorie content of celery – truth or myth?
As for the myth about the negative calorie content of celery, it is nothing more than a myth. Yes, it contains only 21-30 calories, but the body spends 5-15% of the food eaten on digestion. Juice alone is not enough for health and weight loss. Many conditions must be met: at least a varied diet, healthy sleep and physical activity.
