Celery Juice

This is the firs juice that I took today. It has a strong flavor but what encourages me to drink it are the health benefits that we can get. From what I have read about the celery juice it says that "the minerals and vitamins and nutrients are in perfect harmony with each other. Celery leaves are high in vitamin A, whilst the stems are an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C and dense in potassium, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, sodium and essential amino acids" Learn more info about celery juice from this link:
