3. Helps with Insomnia
Those who are experiencing sleepless nights may want to try drinking a glass of celery juice. Celery does act as a diuretic though, so it’s best not to drink the nutrient-rich juice immediately before bedtime.
Sleep quality is affected by cortisol, which is a stress hormone released by the adrenal glands. Cortisol can increase blood pressure levels, which is one of the many causes of lack of sleep. The phthalides, which are compounds found in celery, can help reduce blood pressure, which may improve sleep.
