CELERY ANTI-MIGRAINE PROPERTIES: ANTI-INFLAMMATORY + ANTIOXYDANT

Naturopaths have long been recommending celery for migraine headaches, and a recent study suggests that luteolin, a plant flavonoid found in abundance in celery, can indeed impede the inflammatory response in brain cells, at least in mice. 

Celery is a green, leafy vegetable that contains large amounts of a number of vitamins and minerals. As water accounts for most of its weight, celery is a filling, nutrient-dense and low-calorie food. In addition to its high water, vitamin and mineral content, celery contains other potentially therapeutic compounds. These include anti-inflammatory compounds called phthalides and coumarins, a class of cancer-fighting antioxidants.

Water and Macronutrients

Water accounts for approximately 96 percent of celery's weight. Because of this, one cup of celery contains only 16 calories, 3 g of carbohydrates and almost no fat or protein. Fiber makes up the majority of celery's carbohydrate content, with 1.6 g per cup. This accounts for approximately 6 percent of a man's and 8 percent of a woman's recommended daily intake. As it is a good source of fiber, rich in water and has little negative effect on your diet, celery can help to reduce weight, lower blood pressure and remove toxins from your body by promoting regular bowel movements and urination.

Vitamins

Celery contains small amounts of a number of vitamins, including vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamins B1, B2 and B6. A cup of celery also contains nearly 10 percent of your daily intake of folate. Otherwise known as vitamin B9, folate is essential to neurological and mental health. As people with depression tend to have low folate levels, the University of Maryland Medical Center suggests that vitamin B9 may help to treat depression. In addition, a cup of contains approximately 25 percent of a man's and 33 percent of a woman's daily intake of vitamin K. Due to its role in promoting blood coagulation, the high vitamin K content in celery makes this vegetable a potential therapy for blood clotting disorders.

Minerals

A cup of celery contains between 2.5 and 6 percent of your daily intake of numerous potentially therapeutic minerals. Of these, calcium, phosphorous, manganese, magnesium and potassium all play a role in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis and other bone disorders. In addition, potassium, magnesium and calcium can all help to prevent and reduce high blood pressure. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, magnesium also helps to treat migraine headaches. Manganese plays a role in the treatment of arthritis, potentially reducing pain for people with people with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. With small amounts of iron, a cup of celery boosts your energy levels and helps to treat anemia.

Phthalides and Coumarin

In the August 2011 issue of "Inflammopharmacology," Drs. Michael Powanda of M/P Biomedical Consultants in Mill Valley, California and Kim Rainsford of Sheffield, UK's Sheffield Hallam University list the potential therapeutic effects of phthalides. Present in celery, the benefits of these compounds include anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and relief from kidney stones, bowel diseases, gas, muscle spasms and ulcers. A team led by Mehrdad Iranshahi of the University of Medical Sciences in Mashhad, Iran point out that the coumarins in celery have similar anti-inflammatory effects. In the June 2009 issue of "DARU," the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, these antioxidant compounds are noted to also play a role in cancer treatment by inhibiting an enzyme that promotes the growth of cancer cells.
