12 Fresh Reasons to Sip Celery Juice in 2025
“If a drug company finds out that celery juice lowers blood pressure and tells people, they can’t sell their drug. They get three bucks for a pill. Why should they tell you to use celery juice?”
— Jacque Fresco, American futurist and designer
That line still hits nearly a decade later from the first time I read it. While wellness trends come and go, celery juice remains one of nature’s most overlooked gifts — simple, affordable, and full of living nutrients.
I’ve been drinking 6–8 ounces of fresh celery juice each morning for years, and it continues to surprise me how much better my body feels when I’m consistent. It’s the kind of simple daily practice that quietly supports your energy, digestion, skin, and mood — all before breakfast.
The Basics
One regular-sized bunch of celery makes about 16 ounces of juice (that’s two servings). I juice every other day, pour my morning glass, and store the rest in a sealed mason jar for the next day. Celery is mostly water — about 95%! — but that water is infused with electrolytes, antioxidants, and plant compounds that help the body rebalance and rejuvenate naturally.
A single cup of celery juice has around 65 calories, less than a gram of fat, and almost 3 grams of protein — not bad for something so green and humble.
Skin + Hair Nourishment from the Inside Out
1. Hydrates beautifully.
Because celery juice is so water-rich, it supports your daily hydration goals and helps the skin stay supple and radiant.
2. Promotes a natural glow.
Minerals like calcium, selenium, magnesium, and potassium work together to brighten dull skin and restore its vitality.
3. Supports clear skin.
Celery’s antioxidants help neutralize free radicals while its hydration helps flush away impurities — a powerful pair for a clear, even complexion.
4. Keeps skin youthful.
Celery juice contains Vitamins A, B, C, and K — all essential for collagen production and repair. Translation? Smooth, resilient, glowing skin.
5. Encourages healthy hair growth.
Vitamin A and hydration are a dream duo for your scalp and strands. Together they help nourish the roots, reduce dryness, and support stronger, shinier hair.
Whole-Body Benefits
6. Supports pH balance.
Celery juice is naturally alkaline-forming, helping your body maintain a healthy acid–base balance and reducing the strain of overly processed foods.
7. Gentle weight support.
It’s low in calories but surprisingly filling — a natural helper when you’re resetting eating patterns or curb cravings.
8. Promotes healthy blood pressure.
Celery contains 3-n-butylphthalide, a compound that helps relax blood vessel walls and support smooth circulation.
9. Soothes inflammation.
Phytonutrients — especially polyacetylene — help calm the inflammatory response associated with joint pain, asthma, and even skin irritation.
10. Encourages natural detox.
Celery juice helps stimulate digestive enzymes and bile flow, giving your liver and kidneys a gentle assist as they do their daily cleansing work.
11. Encourages healthy digestion.
The natural fibers and phytonutrients act as a gentle, non-emergency laxative — easing constipation and keeping things moving comfortably.
12. Supports heart health and cholesterol balance.
That 3-n-butylphthalide shows up again here — it helps lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol while supporting bile acid production for better fat metabolism.
Your 30-Day Celery Juice Challenge
If you’ve been curious, consider this your nudge. Try 4-6 ounces each morning for 30 days and note how your body responds—skin, digestion, energy, even mood.
💚 Tip: Use organic celery when you can, juice it fresh, and sip it solo (no lemon, ice, or fruit).
Cheers to small, simple habits that keep our earthly bodies feeling vibrant, loved, and alive.
