Did you know?

The high content of sodium keeps calcium and magnesium in liquid form, thus inhibiting crystal formation. Celery is therefore very useful for people suffering from arthritis since it disperses calcium deposits. Because of its sobering effect it is useful for hangovers. Celery is best used in fresh juice form. It is often recommended in the Health Manual (Part II of this book).
