The Celery Juice Craze

Celery juice is all the rage today among the worried well and weight-watching crowd. The list of purported benefits of celery juice is long and includes blood pressure control, migraine relief, better sleep, and glowing skin, to name just a handful, but is celery juice really all that?

“It's anti-inflammatory and has vitamins A, B, C, K, niacin, and folate,” says Jeanine B. Downie, MD, FAAD, director of image Dermatology PC in Montclair, NJ. “It can help repair skin damage and it helps with collagen production, but it does not necessarily clear acne or help hair at all.”

That said, it's a whole lot better than drinking too much coffee, alcohol, or soda, she says. Cheers!
