Unexpected vegetable named natural healer of blood pressure

Scientists and dietitians continue to find powerful allies in common foods in the fight against hypertension. This time, specialists' attention was drawn to celery, which was previously rarely perceived as a means for normalizing blood pressure.

According to research, celery contains active substances - phthalides, which help expand blood vessels and improve blood flow. This helps naturally lower blood pressure without medication.

Additionally, celery is rich in potassium, magnesium, and fiber, making it particularly beneficial for people with cardiovascular diseases. It also has a diuretic effect, helping to remove excess sodium from the body - one of the main factors in raising blood pressure.

Medical professionals note that daily consumption of 3-4 stalks of fresh celery can produce noticeable effects within a few weeks. However, they emphasize that it should complement, not replace, therapy prescribed by a doctor.
