How does celery juice help with sleep?

Celery is high in a compound called apigenin, which has been found to have sedative properties (1). It also contains magnesium, which helps relax the muscles (2).

Preparation

Preparing celery juice is easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. All you need is some fresh celery stalks and a juicer.

Ingredients

  • Fresh celery stalks
  • Water (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Wash the celery thoroughly.
  2. Cut the stems into small pieces.
  3. Feed them through your juicer.
  4. If it’s too thick or clumpy then add water as necessary to thin it.

You can drink plain celery juice or mix it with other fruits/vegetables for added flavor.

Best time to drink

The effects of celery juice are strongest when consumed on an empty stomach (3) Therefore drinking it 30 minutes before bedtime will ensure maximum benefits.

After consuming this energy booster shoots for at least 6 hours of slumber soundness!

If any solid food item comes between serve yourself another glass filled till brim ‘of course we wouldn’t judge.’ Fill your bellies’ happiness first because after this beverage there might not be enough rom left’.

Fun fact: A lot depends on how we chew our meals! So relish each bite turning carefully into liquid form enabling every inch of its nutritional value – facilitating better digestion leading towards uninterrupted snooze marathons; impossible otherwise – trust us!!

Dosage

For optimum benefits drink at least one glass of celery juice before bed. ‘But remember everything in moderation is the key.’ Drinking too much might result in unexpected morning trips to the restroom! We wouldn’t want that, would we?

Precautions

Celery has natural diuretic qualities which mean it makes you pee (4). Therefore if your bladder isn’t a fan of nature’s call during sleeping hours then maybe reconsider.

Furthermore, be aware that just because it worked for some people doesn’t necessarily that this tip will work on everyone. If insomnia persists despite trying different remedies but involves visits by train or trash trucks then possibly its time to seek expert help!
