Celery is a vegetable we often eat in our daily life. Celery has always been a rumor of "disaster area". Many people say that celery has the function of curing diseases, which can reduce blood pressure, clear blood fat and fight cancer. So, are these statements reliable? Many people will throw away celery leaves when they eat celery, and think they can't eat them. Is this right? What are the effects of celery leaves?
Apigenin can accelerate cancer cell death, but it can't kill cancer cells directly. Apigenin needs to be delivered to the right place in the human body to attack cancer cells, which is not something that can be done simply by 'eating' celery.
Celery is no substitute for antihypertensive drugs.
Celery can control blood pressure to a certain extent, but it can not achieve the effect that people need. Food is food, medicine is medicine. Celery itself is very good, rich in dietary fiber, can increase satiety, help intestinal peristalsis, but it does not cure disease. Patients with hypertension need to find a professional doctor for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Please follow the doctor's advice.
There's no basis for celery spermicidal.
At present, there is no reliable conclusion on the scientific research of "celery spermicidal". Some studies have found that giving celery juice to mice can affect sperm motility; some studies have shown that celery has nothing to do with sperm motility; others have concluded that celery may help improve fertility. In short, there is no high-quality and recognized scientific evidence to prove the correctness of "celery spermicidal". As a kind of vegetable, its nutrition is very certain, and celery lovers don't have to worry. Even if some studies have found a link between celery and sperm activity, there is no need to panic. The scientific research institute uses the high concentration celery juice which has been extracted. The normal consumption of celery is far less than that amount.
It's a rumor that eating celery can reduce weight.
There is a saying that celery is a "negative calorie food" that is thinner and thinner. Because celery itself is low in energy and rich in dietary fiber, the body needs to pay more energy to digest, so eating celery is equal to consuming energy, which has the effect of exercise, and eating more can reduce weight. In fact, even if it is the most difficult food to digest, the energy needed to digest it will not exceed 35% of the energy of the food itself. Research shows that eating a celery stem, taking in about 6 calories of energy, the energy required for digestion is 1 calorie, is' receive 'more than' branch '.
"Eating celery can cure cancer" is a myth.
Celery contains a substance called apigenin, which has a unique role in killing cancer cells. Its principle is very complex. In a word, apigenin can accelerate cancer cell death, but it can't kill cancer cells directly. Apigenin needs to be delivered to the right place in the human body to attack cancer cells, which is not something that can be done simply by 'eating' celery. It's very complicated to just send celery to the right place. What's more, the research institute uses pure apigenin preparation, converted into normal consumption of celery, the amount is amazing. The celery people usually eat is far from the effective dose.
Many people will throw away the celery leaves when they eat celery, which is unscientific
Because celery leaves are much more nutritious than stems.

There is also vitamin E in celery leaves, but not in celery stems.
