Celery might not be the flashiest vegetable, but it’s packed with nutrients that can benefit your body in surprising ways. With its low calorie count and high water content, celery is often associated with weight loss. However, it offers a whole array of health benefits that go beyond just being a low-calorie snack. When you eat celery every day for a week, you might experience a range of positive effects, from improved digestion to better heart health.

Supports Digestive Health Celery is rich in fiber, which aids digestion by promoting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation. Its natural compounds can also help protect the stomach lining and reduce the risk of stomach ulcers. How it helps: The fiber in celery acts as a prebiotic, feeding the good bacteria in your gut, which supports overall digestive health. 2. Hydrates Your Body With a high water content (almost 95%), celery is an excellent way to stay hydrated. Proper hydration is essential for bodily functions like temperature regulation, nutrient transport, and joint lubrication. How it helps: Eating celery provides a hydrating boost, especially during hot weather or after exercise, without adding extra calories. 3. Reduces Inflammation Celery contains antioxidants and polysaccharides, particularly flavonoids, that have anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation is associated with health issues like arthritis, heart disease, and certain cancers. How it helps: Regular consumption of celery may help reduce inflammation markers, potentially lowering the risk of chronic illnesses. 4. Promotes Heart Health Celery is high in potassium and magnesium, which are essential for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. Additionally, the fiber in celery can help lower cholesterol levels. How it helps: By managing blood pressure and cholesterol, celery supports heart health and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

What is Fire Cider? A drink or remedy that is said to keep the body’s immune system in good health. Back in the 70’s Rosemary Gladstar coined the term Fire Cider. However, a version of Fire Cider has been around for centuries. It has been called by many names and there many recipes for the cider. This is from Rosemary Gladstar’s and Friends book Fire Cider! The base of most recipes is: 4 parts ginger root 4 parts horseradish root 2 parts onions 2 parts garlic 1 part cayenne or habaneros The one common ingredient in Fire Cider is apple cider vinegar (ACV) with “the Mother”. Fire Cider is packed with antibacterial, antiviral, and anti fungal properties. You can take it daily as a preventative or at the onset of a cold or flu. It can help stimulate sweating and move toxins out of the body. Its expectorant qualities help break up congestion and keep airways clear. Add honey to make it syrupy and it becomes a potent cough soother. Drink a shot a day to keep healthy all winter long. With fall and then winter approaching, I got to making my Fire Cider. I have 2 quarts ready to strain for the start of my immunity kit building. I add a variety of different fruits, vegetables and herbs to mine. Not one session of making them is ever the same, except for the base. I start with gathering all of my ingredients. Chop up all the ingredients and layer them in the jars. I thought that I would have enough for 1 gallon and 1 quart. Well needless to say, I ended up with 2 one gallon mason jars. After that I fill it to the top with ACV. I also added Calendula flowers at the end of the process. No particular reason. I then placed parchment paper, capped it and labeled them. The reason for the parchment paper is to keep the vinegar from corroding the metal lid. Not a good thing for the cider. I tried plastic lids, they never seemed tight enough. Then I placed them in a cool dark place. Some people like theirs cold and keep it in the fridge. I like mine room temperature. The ACV keeps it shelf stable for up to 6 months. Mine never lasts that long. For those who would rather not drink it straight, it has a kick, you can add honey or maple syrup. Layle and I prefer dark molasses. It also adds minerals to the mix. You can also use the Fire Cider straight in tomato juice, soups, salad dressing and anything else food or drink that you can imagine.
