Eating raw celery is an excellent and healthy way to reduce
high cholesterol blood levels. According to tests by
researchers at the University of Chicago, celery reduces
cholesterol levels by as much as 7 points with as little as
2 stalks a day.
Not all the cholesterol that causes problems comes from
food. The liver manufactures up to 75 percent of the
cholesterol in the body. It is in the liver that
cholesterol is manufactured and broken down by special
enzymes to be removed from the body. Celery aids this
process by increasing bile acid secretion. Laboratory
studies also indicate that butyl phthalide, a chemical in
celery, may help reduce high cholesterol.

experts say that celery is good for people with
circulation problems because celery fights fat. Serious
circulatory problems can be caused by too much cholesterol
in the blood. Heart attacks and strokes are the two most
common complications caused by hardening and blockage of the
arteries. Celery contains chemicals that stimulate the
elimination of fat throughout the body says a physician at
the University of Italy in Milan.
Celery is high in calcium. High calcium intake invigorates
the endocrine system which releases hormones that break down
fatty buildup in cells. The adrenal and thyroid glands
secrete the hormone adrenaline and thyroxine respectively,
which help to burn accumulated fats in the body cells. The
pituitary gland secretes at least nine known hormones which
influence body weight gain and loss.
By aiding the body's processes in dissolving already
accumulated cholesterol on the interior walls of the
arteries, known as plaque, and helping the liver to
metabolize and prevent additional formation of cholesterol,
celery is an excellent food for cholesterol control.
