4. Celery seed (and celery)
Celery is one of the only foods in the world that requires the expenditure of more calories to chew and swallow it than it actually provides as a source of sustenance. Unless you’re obsessed with losing weight by any means necessary, or are a celery fanatic, you may be wondering why on earth anyone would bother to eat celery, or indeed waste their time with celery seed, but you’d be able to find an answer if you dug deep enough.
The explanation lies with the fact that celery seed is a natural anti-inflammatory that can lower blood pressure at the same time as relaxing spastic muscles which may have gone into spasm.
The next time you feel those leg cramps creeping in, reach for the celery seed instead of your over the counter medications and let nature do its work before your very eyes. So there you go, that’s the point of eating celery and its seeds.
