Every morning after waking up and before dinner, Annie makes homemade celery juice and drinks it.
She believes it's important to drink it on an empty stomach to ensure you reap the benefits of the vegetable juice.
Since starting her day with celery juice, Annie says it's “one of the best things” she's ever done for her health.
Celery juice is packed with antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation, brighten skin, stimulate hair growth, stabilize mood and reduce memory loss.
The vegetable was initially used as a medicine in treatments for toothache, insomnia, high blood pressure, anxiety, arthritis, rheumatism and to purify the blood.
And before that, the ancient Romans used celery as an aphrodisiac.
Annie, who has been vegan for nine years, says her skin has “never been clearer” since drinking the juice daily.
She uses a blender and adds a little water with the ingredients before straining it through a colander.
Anti-aging
Annie says, “Drinking celery juice every morning on an empty stomach helps to naturally increase collagen and smooth skin.”
Celery is rich in a plant compound called phthalide, which relaxes the walls of your blood vessels, increasing blood flow and lowering your blood pressure.
Strengthened liver
Annie adds, “Celery juice flushes toxins from your liver and helps restore your central nervous system.
“Celery juice ensures that your body quickly flushes out bad bacteria in the intestines.
“You may notice bloating or loose stools at first. Start with a small amount and increase gradually.”
Annie emphasizes the importance of drinking the celery juice only on an empty stomach, being careful not to mix other ingredients.
She adds: “Don't even add a squeeze of lemon or it won't work as it should.”
Fresh celery can be bought for as little as 50 cents at fruit and vegetable markets, as well as in supermarkets.
Proponents believe that drinking celery juice on an empty stomach can detoxify the body and promote weight loss.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow's wellness and lifestyle brand Goop recommends that people wait 15 minutes after drinking celery juice before consuming anything else.
Goop's website states: “Celery juice is a medicinal drink, not a high-calorie drink, so you still need breakfast afterward to current you all morning long.
“For even greater benefits or if you are suffering from a chronic illness or symptom, consider drinking twenty-four to thirty-two ounces of pure celery juice per day.”
The website recommends drinking it all at once on an empty stomach in the morning or dividing it into two servings.
What are the best anti-aging foods
- Blueberries: Dr. Paulvin's main food for longevity is none other than the humble blueberry.
Writing for CNBChe said the small purple fruit was filled with vitamins and antioxidants that protect your body like armor against infections, but was also tasty and low in calories.
According to the longevity researcher, blueberries have a powerful anti-aging effect because they are rich in antioxidants called anthocyanins.
These can help keep cells healthy and prevent them from becoming damaged, while also being involved in processes that repair DNA.
- Tomatoes: According to Sun nutritionist Amanda Ursell, eating tomatoes can help protect our skin from aging and fight wrinkles from within.
That's because this salad staple—alongside vegetables like spinach, red peppers, carrots, and kale—is packed with antioxidant pigments called lycopene, lutein, and beta-carotene.
- Whole grain foods: According to Amanda Ursell, the energy is released slowly, meaning they don't damage the collagen on our skin.
Foods like porridge, brown pasta and rice and sweet potatoes are great for this.
Researchers from Harvard University have also suggested that including whole grains in your diet could help you live longer, as they can help lower the risk of deadly conditions such as heart disease, colon cancer, diabetes, stroke when combined with fruit, non-starchy vegetables, nuts and unsaturated oils. - Notes: A handful of nuts is the favorite snack of people living in the Blue Zones, five regions around the world where people regularly reach the age of 100.
London-based nutritionist Sophie Trotman sang the praises of nuts and bolts when it comes to anti-aging.
She told Fabulous that nuts such as almonds and walnuts are all rich in vitamin E, protein and omega-3 fatty acids and contain minerals such as zinc that help with skin renewal. - Healthy oils: They can also help your skin look its best by maintaining its natural oil barrier, Sophie added, hydrating the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Two or three servings of fish per week should be sufficient.
Another source of healthy fats is olive oil and canola oil, which can promote heart health.
It says: “If you can't manage to consume your celery juice in the morning before eating, then the next best option is to drink it fifteen to thirty minutes before or after eating anything at any time of the day .
“If you drink thirty-two ounces a day, you might want to have it in two sixteen-ounce servings.
“You can drink the first in the morning on an empty stomach before eating and the second in the late afternoon or early evening, at least fifteen to thirty minutes before you eat your next meal.”
