Keeping away dementia and other age-related brain diseases can be prevented by living a healthy lifestyle, which according to recent University of Illinois research, includes crunching down on some celery! In the study it was shown that celery is rich in a unique compound called luteolin that blocks molecules in the brain that trigger inflammation, a key cause of brain aging, says Rodney Johnson, Ph.D who helped write about the study.
If you’re not a big celery fan, luteolin is also found in carrots, peppers, dandelion, spinach, sage, cauliflower, chamomile, parsley, and thyme, but one of the easiest ways to get celery in your body is by juicing it! Celery is also used to purify the blood and reduce inflammation in the body which can help to clear skin.
