Celery juice

[ragurl]

Decided to start juicing celery. Day 1, and so happy to share I enjoy the taste 😀

[summer32]

Why did you choose celery? I like to eat is is that why?

[ragurl in reply to summer32]

I read it's an anti- inflammatory powerhouse.

[Jesnaskah]

Add cucumber to the celery juicing... The combination is supposed to be anti inflammatory 😊

One word...yuk! I loathe celery, so I won't be stealing it from your kitchen.

[ragurl in reply to helixhelix]

Lol 😂

[Etostar]

Why celery juice?

[ragurl in reply to Etostar]

I read it was anti-inflammatory and I just came out of a hard crash with meds. Made me open to small dietary changes for first time of 29 years with disease. Also after being on meds I have mild gastritis- it's suppose to help with gut health. We will see.

[Etostar in reply to ragurl]

I hope you heal completely and thanks for the tip on celery juice.

Good idea with cellery juicing. Cellery has shown to be very anti estrogenic and ecess estrogen is inflammatory and a culprit in inflammatory diseases. Good luck!

[Simba1992 in reply to Simba1992]

A bit of more information about the role of estrogen.

Too much science for me.

Intense - I started HRT 100 mg progesterone two years ago thanks for info

[lornaisobel in reply to ragurl]

Is HRT good for RA? my doctor is trying to get me off it

[Simba1992 in reply to lornaisobel]

Supplementing with natural progesterone is good for RA. Don't know what regime you are on and what hormons you are using but your doc is probably on the right track, in my opinion.

[ragurl in reply to lornaisobel]

I am on 100mg natural progesterone for 8-10 days every month. I am 49 was experiencing hot flashes, insomnia and progesterone is helping for now. Not sure what you are on and why? I think it lhas everything to why?Perimenopause has been challenging -my RA wants to flare every month a couple days before my cycle

[Simba1992 in reply to ragurl]

Hello Raguri,

Lots of new knowledge on the bennefits of progesterone. Here is a summery of facts that may interest you.

[Simba1992 in reply to ragurl]

The reason for these symptoms before menses is the drop in progesterone and estrogen taking over. Supplementing with progesterone, helps with PMS symptoms as well as with the inflammatory effect of estrogen. I am postmenopausal and am supplementing to support my metabolism in different ways as well as keeping the estrogen dominance down.

[Simba1992]

On latest research on autoimmune disease and estrogen.

You can just believe and hope on the effect of meds and diets or you can do research and get a better understanding what and why different treatments can help you in your situation. I personally feel to be more in charge when I gain information as much as possible, it helps me to accept the illness and feel less stress.

Interesting

[Hessie5 in reply to Simba1992]

Very interesting !

I hate it as juice and raw. Makes me heave. Enjoy it cooked and blended with tomatoes...delicious tomato sauce.

I managed to get my young daughter off methotrexate and into remission for 2 years by daily juicing of ginger, celery, pineapple, cucumber, carrot, spinach etc etc! Then 2 years on I got slack, she did GCSEs and had a big flare!

We are now back to daily juicing and things are starting to improve. Keep it up!

Perhaps some variety would be good 😂

[ragurl in reply to juliejswift]

Awesome 👏🏻- Thanks

[Hessie5]

I adore celery! Juice it, roast it, add to a yummy stir fry or eaten raw (nice chopped up with an apple too). Very good for fighting inflammation. Well done and thanks for sharing 😊
