Supports Healthy Digestion
Celery contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. Though your body doesn’t digest either type directly, both play a vital role in digestive health. Soluble fiber forms a gel-like substance in the gut, which increases stool bulk and helps it pass more easily. Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, serves as food for the beneficial gut bacteria that assist in breaking down other foods.
But that’s not all—celery also contains plant compounds that can enhance your body’s ability to absorb nutrients from what you eat.
