有一天Threads 跳出幾篇幾個立行每天喝500cc 西芹汁的人寫的分享心得. 查了查西芹汁怎麼喝, 就趁著去年底假期優惠買了一台榨汁機回來試試. 跟先生兩人嘗試過的感覺是, 嗯, 還可以接受但是可能無法像網路上那些嚴格執行西芹汁排毒的人這般努力. One day, I came across a few posts on Threads from people who shared their experience in drinking celery juice every day. I sort of looked up the internet about it and decided to take advantage of a holiday discount at the end of last year to buy a juicer and give it a try. Hmm, after a few runs, we felt that it was not bad and acceptable—but we probably wouldn’t be as dedicated as those strict celery juice detox followers on the internet.
西芹汁是個不錯的好果汁. 除了含有豐富的水分,, 還有很多好的維生素跟礦物質, 如維他命A, C, K, 鈉, 鉀, 葉酸, 以及多酚類化合物, 具有抗氧化以及消炎的作用. 達到清腸排毒, 消除水腫, 保養心血管, 穩固血糖以及幫助睡眠等效果. 我跟先生其實斷斷續續喝了兩三周, 每次也只喝了差不多250CC . 頭幾天清晨喝, 後來因為趕時間上班送孩子, 而且實在是冬天太冷一早太涼了喝不下去, 就改成下午空腹在晚餐前喝. 先生喝完感覺沒太多變化. 我最明顯的是很好睡! 只要有喝西芹汁的那天, 就是一覺到天亮. 而且在喝完後身體感覺很飽足, 不會像以前在晚餐前總是已經開始snacking東吃西吃. 其他可能對身體健康的好處可能因為時間短一時還看不出來. Celery juice is a great and healthy juice. Besides being rich in water content, it also contains many beneficial vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A, C, and K, as well as sodium, potassium, folate, and polyphenolic compounds, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps with gut cleansing and detoxification, reducing water retention, maintaining cardiovascular health, stabilizing blood sugar levels, and improving sleep quality.
My husband and I actually drank it on and off about two to three weeks, but only around 250cc each time. At first, we drank it in the early morning, but later, due to the rush of getting ready to work and taking the kids to school—and because it was simply too cold to drink in the winter morning —we switched to drinking it on an empty stomach in the afternoon before dinner. It was much better.
My husband didn’t feel much difference after drinking it, but for me, the most noticeable effect was improved sleep! On the days I drank celery juice, I would sleep soundly through the night. Also, after drinking it, my body felt full, so I didn’t find myself snacking mindlessly before dinner like I used to. As for other potential health benefits, I might need more time to notice any significant changes.
有一點必須提出來記這的是, 因為芹菜汁富含K, 高鉀與鈉, 的確不是每個人都適合. 有在吃抗凝血藥以及腎臟病患者的人可能就不要嘗試了. 最好還是跟醫生諮詢過再做嘗試. One important thing to point out is that because celery juice is rich in potassium and sodium, it may not be suitable for everyone. People who are taking anticoagulant medication or those with kidney disease should probably avoid it. The best way is to consult with your physician before you decide to give it a try.
現在來說說它的口感吧. 西芹汁的味道喝起來的確不好入口. 而且第一回喝的時候只覺得好鹹跟一股說不出來的菜味. 估計應該就是鉀的味道. 孩子們接收不了, 所以給小朋友們喝的就會加了其他蔬果比如蘋果, 番茄, 跟紅蘿蔔等一塊榨汁之後就變得好喝多了, 像極了小時候的瓶裝波蜜果菜汁! 哈哈. Okay now let’s talk about the taste! I need to be honest with you. The taste of celery juice is definitely not very platable. The first time I drank it, all I could taste was how salty it was, along with a weird vegetable flavor—I’m guessing that’s the taste of potassium. The kids couldn’t accept it at all, so for them, I mixed it with other fruits and vegetables like apples, tomatoes, and carrots. That made it much tastier—just like the bottled mixed fruit and vegetable juice I used to drink as a kid! Haha.
如果沒意外, 我應該還是會盡量每周幾天跟老公分著喝. 至於榨汁剩下的渣, 習慣全穀吃法, 喳喳也能時不時拿去做成豆渣餅煎著吃. 餅很容易做, 一些西芹渣, 幾湯匙鷹嘴豆麵粉, 一般麵粉, 一顆蛋, 加一些紅蘿蔔跟青蔥, 蒜末, 調個味就能入鍋煎了. 起鍋配個簡單的麻油醬油沾著吃, 非常飽足 (如下圖). If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll probably continue having it with my husband a few times a week. As for the leftover pulp from juicing, since I’m used to whole-food eating, I like to reuse it and make some yummy veggie pancakes. They’re super easy to make—just mix some celery pulp with a few tablespoons of chickpea flour, all-purpose flour, one egg, some grated carrot, chopped scallions, minced garlic, and seasoning. Then I pan-fry them with light oil, and they’re ready to eat! Served with a simple sesame oil and soy sauce dip, they’re incredibly satisfying (see image below)!
最後來說說這台價格不低的韓國榨汁機Hurom H400. 其實當時我還研究了另一牌Nama J2. 看完網路上所有的評價後決定買清洗較為容易一些些的Hurom. 找了一個打九折的折扣碼下單. 因為第一次接觸榨汁機, 跟先生都覺得非常有趣. 看著好高一台, 榨汁的時候聲音小, 零件也清洗容易 . 榨出來的渣也算夠乾. 聽說還能榨nut milk!! 這個以後再嘗試了. Finally, let’s talk about this rather pricey Korean juicer—the Hurom H400. Back at the time I was searching for the juicer, I also considered another brand, the Nama J2. After going through all the online reviews, I decided to go with the Hurom since it’s slightly easier to clean. I also found a 10% discount code when I placed an order. Not bad!
Since this was our first time using a juicer, my husband and I found it really fascinating. It’s quite tall, operates quietly, and the parts are easy to clean. The pulp it produces is fairly dry, which means good juice extraction. I also heard that it can make nut milk—something I’ll definitely try in the future! 🙂
這些年喜歡健康飲食, 我的想法是甚麼都試試, 但是也不盲從. 很多時候還是必須依著自己身體情況做調整才好. 就拿這西芹汁來說, 我們可能做不到每天喝五百cc, 但是學到它的營養, 把它納入飲食中, 也是很好的. Over the years being in love with healthy eating, my philosophy is to try different things but not follow trends blindly. It’s important to adjust based on your own body’s needs. Take celery juice, for example—we may not be able to drink 500cc every day, but learning about its nutritional benefits and incorporating it into our diet in a way that works for us is still a great choice. 🙂
Ps. 有關西芹汁好處多多的來源: 這本書-神奇西芹汁: 醫療靈媒給你這個時代最有效、療癒全球數百萬人的靈藥. 有興趣的可以去翻翻看. 但我應該是做不到每天喝了. 另外作者提到要杜絕所有金屬烹調的鍋具, 才能達到排毒的最好效果, 這個可能還得花費一些功夫. 我只能從謹慎選取鍋具來著手了. A source that talks extensively about the benefits of celery juice is the book “Medical Medium Celery Juice: The Most Powerful Medicine of Our Time Healing Millions Worldwide“. If you’re interested, you might want to check it out. But personally, I don’t think I can commit to drinking it daily. The author Anthony William also mentions that to achieve the best detox effects, you should completely avoid using metal cookware. For me, that would take quite a bit of effort, so for now, I think I will focus on carefully selecting safer cookware instead.
