Celery - helps remedy High Blood presure

Celery
Apium graveolens
In many cultures, celery is used as a traditional remedy for high blood pressure. Until recently, modern doctors has recommended against using it this way, citing the high sodium level. Studies show, however, that celery, despite it sodium content, contains a chemical that reduces the blood pressure in laboratory animals. (It also lowered the animals’ cholesterol levels.) Two or four ribs of celery a day would be the human equivalent to the dosage the laboratory animals received. Celery has a lot of sodium for a vegetable, but the amount it contains is still quite low – only about 32 mil a stalk – as compared with other foods. Celery is also a good source of fiber, vitamin A, and postassium. A single stalk has only about 20 calories..
Celery is a mild diuretic that can be helpful for relieving mild water retention and breast tenderness from premenstrual stress (PMS) symptoms. Celery also contains psoralens, compounds that may help relieve psoriasis symptoms.
