Q & A
Q: Does this “cleanse” the liver?
A: No food literally cleanses the liver. The liver detoxifies naturally. Celery supports it by providing hydration and nutrients.
Q: Is it better than garlic and lemon?
A: Not better—just different. Garlic, lemon, and celery each offer unique benefits.
Q: Can I drink it daily?
A: Yes, in moderation. If you have kidney issues or take blood thinners, consult a doctor.
Q: Can I eat the pulp?
A: Absolutely! That’s where most of the fiber lives.
