A very close relative of mine is on dialysis, which for some strange reason rapidly increases blood pressure. Never in my wildest dreams would I have gone to the supermarket or farmers market and picked up a bunch of celery. It just isn’t my thing. I never understood the hype of eating chicken wings with celery and ranch dressing. It never appealed to me…and it still doesn’t. I don’t want celery with my chicken, in my stews or in my soup, but I totally appreciate in juice form.

I have recently learned that celery reduces blood pressure. My blood pressure is excellent, however my grandma’s isn’t. I had to get crafty with this celery thingy, so I decided to make some juice with it. It is tasty and refreshing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I can’t seem to get enough. My dialysis and diabetic patients are enjoy this juice as well. I have permanently added this juice to my collection of juices and prepare it quite often.
