I first heard about celery juice a couple of months ago when I was scrolling through Instagram stories.
Every morning she grabs a glass of celery juice from her local bodega.
She doesn’t eat anything for 30 minutes and then goes about her day.
She’s even lost a few pounds.
Meanwhile, the Instagram posts kept coming.
Everyone, all of a sudden, was drinking celery juice.
What was the deal?
Celery juice has been around forever, right?
Today there are 33,000 #CeleryJuice posts on Instagram (and growing!
), but this vegetable obviously isn’t a new thing.
Since he was 4 years old, he had heard a voice perfectly clear in his right ear.
He calls himself medical medium because of this guiding spirit.

I also asked a registered dietitian to see if she could back up any of these claims.

Goodman thinks people are seeing that celery is helpingdigestion, decreasingbloatand improvingenergybecause of how hydrating celery is.
And we all know the other age-old cure-all: water.
And this is something that William is completely aware of.
He’s hoping that soon science will fund studies for this.
Why now, though?
“Hawaii’s demand for celery is really high right now.
They’re temporarily running low, but it’s cyclical.
People are stocking up on celery and filling their carts with it,” William told mbg.
I tried celery juice.
Here’s what I thought.
So on one hazy Brooklyn morning, I went to my local bodega to ask for this celery spirit.
At first, I didn’t love the taste, which is a little salty and bland.
But when I finished the drink, I felt a calm wash over me.
For a week, I started each morning with a glass of celery juice.
After my celery juice week, I felt less bloated.
I also noticed my appetite was decreased.
I wasn’t as ravenous for breakfast.
I was feeling satisfied with smaller portions.
Also, my caffeine, alcohol, and sugar cravings were much lower.
What’s the next superfood trend?
William’s next book,Liver Rescue,is coming out October 30.
So perhaps next month, influencers will be downing pitaya smoothies?
Only time will tell.
Personally, I saw the effect of celery juice on myself and my body.
But am I going to buy a $6 celery juice every morning or finally invest in a juicer?
If I need a boost of energy or hydration, I might splurge for more celery juice.
Other than that, I’ll stick with water.
