“Celery is a product that is associated with diet and proper nutrition. But is it really so useful, especially for men?”

What are the benefits of celery

Celery is considered a natural aphrodisiac because its composition includes androsterone. This is a weak metabolite of the sex hormone testosterone, which is found in both sexes, although more so in men. However, there is really no scientific data and studies proving improved reproductive function through the use of the vegetable.

On the other hand, celery contains high amounts of antioxidants that increase sperm motility and improve fertility.

In addition, the value of celery lies in the content of vitamin K: in 100 g of vegetable about 25-40% of its daily norm for men. The micronutrient is important for normal blood clotting (which can play a role in improving sexual function), as well as for bone and joint health.

The vegetable has calcium (about 40 mg per 100 g) and vitamin B9, which replenishes 3-4% and 10% of the daily requirement respectively.

Another valuable property of celery is its dietary fiber content (about 1.6 g per 100 g of product). Fiber plays an important role in digestion and intestinal health, as well as providing a long-lasting feeling of satiety, reducing appetite.

Does celery help in weight loss?

Despite its low calorie content (14-17 kcal in 100 g), celery is not a weight loss aid. There is no such product that burns calories and allows you to “eat and lose weight”.

Recommended daily intake of celery for adults: about 200-300 g.
