Well, my month of drinking celery juice is up and honestly there was a reason I decided on February as the month for this, it was not my favorite at the start, but then around mid month I was really feeling it. First getting into the why drinking celery juice on its own is a good idea. Some of the benefits according to medical medium Anthony William include:
- Lowers inflammation and reduces bloating
- Helps support weight loss
- Aids in digestion
- Fights infections
So why did I do it? I wanted to see if I could put my mind to something and do it even though I wasn’t a fan of celery and especially not celery juice. I didn’t go into this hoping to lose weight or really even thinking it would make a difference in my health at all. You’re supposed to drink at least 16 oz. of the juice on it’s own not mixed with anything, but maybe it was the Ninja that we used, I needed water to help it blend better. I also added a dash of salt because the taste on it’s own just wasn’t appetizing to me first thing in the morning. You’re also supposed to do this on an empty stomach before eating anything, but eat breakfast a little after since it’s not giving you many calories at all.
I didn’t drink celery juice for all 29 days, I really only did it during the week and between 3-5 days with the average being 4. The prep was really easy and I would have it ready to go for the morning so that I could drink it while getting ready.
They say a habit forms after 21 days of doing it and there’s definitely truth to that because I’m still drinking celery juice in the mornings! What results did I have? Well I certainly felt like my stomach was less bloated, my clothes fit a bit looser and I felt really good throughout the month. It felt like a really good reset for my body and even though I’m not going to be tracking it going forward, I’m happy to have formed a habit that is healthy and that gives me a nice little immunity boost! I also have my mom to thank for February’s challenge going according to plan because she has been on the celery juice train for last three months, seeing incredible results (including pain her hands going away) and urged me to try it for a nice reset!
Have you tried celery juice? Do you think you would do a month challenge?

My sister went through a phase of drinking celery juice and she swore by it! I love your monthly challenges!

I always wondered about drinking it, but I thought you had to use a fancy juicer. I have a bullet, too – I am going to have to give it a try!
I love these new things you were trying! Iām glad to hear you got benefits from this, I just may have to give it a whirl!
I haven't tried this and I'm so intrigued! I'm glad you enjoyed it and saw the benefits of it too.
I haven't heard of this but I'm definitely intrigued! sticking to something like this for a month is definitely a challenge so good for you B!

That one scares me… I've heard too many upset stomach stories about celery juice for my liking. I have an UBER sensitive stomach anyways – but glad its become a habit for you.
That's amazing you were able to do this. I don't like celery in general so I don't think I could do it as a juice, but I won't say I'd never try it š
I've been waiting for this post! I've been seeing celery juicing everywhere lately so I was excited to see your opinions about it. How crazy that your mom is experiencing less pain in her hands because of it!! I guess the lower inflammation thing must be true!
I will have to try this, I would love to be less bloated and fight the inflammation in my joints. I love that you are doing monthly challenges, looking forward to your thoughts on meditation.
I've never tried Celery juicing before, but I've heard amazing things about much it can help the system so I'd really like to give it a try and see if it'd help me xo

I may give it a try.
I'm so fascinated by this, and now I need to try it too. I'm all about feeling less bloated <3

I've heard a lot about the benefits of celery juicing, but I've never tried it myself. I may need to think about it in terms of reducing bloating!
It sounds like this is really working for you and your mom. I am not sure if I could drink celery juice first thing in the morning, I am so sensitive about what I eat when I eat breakfast…but I am intrigued and want to check it out!
I have to hand it to you, especially since you said you're not a massive fan of celery to begin with!! I will skip this because I definitely am not a fan of celery!! Maybe it could be done with cucumbers instead? Hehe
Was impressed with your monthly challenges. It is not easy to keep up with it though. There were so many different things that you planned to do. It is inspiring. Celery juice challenge is something I thought I must try at least for the health benefit. I'm thinking about other habits I would love to pickup.
