The healthiest salad. Eat it, and you will never get old

There's no denying that salads and slaws are the healthiest snacks in the world. A bouquet of vegetables and add-ons is a treasury of vitamins and minerals that have a positive impact on our body. The celery salad deserves special attention. This dish will help us get rid of excess pounds and slow down the aging process.

Celery root is rich in dietary fiber, calcium, magnesium, riboflavins, potassium, phosphorous, Vitamins A, B6, C, and K. It contains little fatty acids and cholesterol. Regular consumption of this vegetable boosts our immunity, protects against infections, and also supports muscles and nerves. Adding celery to potatoes helps lower glycemic levels. Besides, it speeds up metabolism and prevents constipation. It protects the body from developing hemorrhoids. It is also a source of anti-inflammatory antioxidants. They fight against free radicals and thus protect cells from various diseases, for example, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and heart diseases.

Celery is low in calories. Thanks to its high fiber content, it helps maintain a feeling of fullness for longer. Meanwhile, protein reduces the level of ghrelin - the hormone responsible for stimulating feelings of hunger. All this makes celery recommended for people on a diet and wanting to maintain a slim figure.

It is also rich in antioxidants, which fight harmful free radicals. Thus, it shows anti-aging properties. Therefore, it is worth including it in the diet to maintain youthfulness.

It is best consumed raw, in the form of slices. We could also grate it. Although we will then supply ourselves with all the nutrients, this form of preparation has one drawback. The vegetable simply does not have a very intense taste and few will want to crunch it as a standalone snack. Therefore, a good idea is to steam it, bake it, add it to the soup or eat it in the form of a salad.
