Benefits of Celery Leaves Although celery has a high water content, it contains numerous vitamins and minerals, including potassium and calcium, which are important for heart health. It also contains folate and vitamin K, both of which are required for the formation of red blood cells and effective blood clotting. Celery is a good source of both soluble and insoluble fibre, which is important for digestive function. A 2010 animal study using celery extract also suggested that its phytonutrient content may be beneficial for protecting digestive mucosa, and as a result may guard against gastric ulcers. Because celery is a source of phytonutrients, animal studies suggest it may suppress inflammation, potentially making it useful for those with chronic inflammatory conditions, like arthritis. However, much of the research to date has been conducted using animal models and more human trials are needed. A 2017 animal study found that celery extract appeared to halt the cognitive decline associated with ageing and depression. Similarly, a study looking at the neuroprotective benefits of celery extract saw positive results in mice with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Again, much of the research to date has been conducted using animal models and more human trials are needed.
