Introduction: In Western tradition, celery has long been considered a side dish, merely a garnish for the table, but its nutritional value should not be underestimated. A recent article on the Japanese "MSN" website lists five reasons to eat more celery.
Anti-cancer
Research has found that myristicin, an organic compound found in celery, can neutralize the carcinogen benzopyrene released from cigarette smoke, effectively inhibiting cancer formation (especially in the lungs).

Anti-aging
Celery is rich in multiple antioxidant compounds, including apigenin. Two tablespoons of celery provide 16% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.
Anti-inflammatory
Celery is rich in apigenin, which can boost human metabolism. Regular consumption can effectively prevent internal inflammation, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Prevention of Chronic Diseases
When the level of homocysteine in the human body is too high, it poses a threat to vascular health. The folate in celery can convert it into harmless molecules, so eating more celery can help prevent cardiovascular diseases such as stroke.
Strong Bones
Two tablespoons of celery contain up to 153% of the RDA for vitamin K, which is essential for the synthesis of osteocalcin, a protein that strengthens bones. At the same time, vitamin K can also prevent calcium from accumulating in the artery walls, helping to prevent cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis.
