10 Health Benefits of Celery
Health Benefit #6: Protects against Ulcers
As discussed elsewhere, celery improves the digestion process. This boosts the overall health of the digestive tract. But there is more to this. Recent studies have established that some of the compounds in celery stimulate production of gastric mucus, which protects the stomach walls from the damaging effects of excess stomach acid.
Depletion of gastric mucus can lead to tiny holes developing within the stomach walls. If these holes continue developing in size, they become painful stomach ulcers that can make life very difficult. But including a regular helping of celery in your diet gives your gut protection against these ulcers.
