Celery...who knew!?

Celery is a dieter's dream food, especially those that have problems with snacking. It is
extremely low in calories, yet it provides many health benefits - plus its an easy, tasty, and crunchy snack.

Celery contains vitamin C and several other active compounds that promote health, including phalides, which may help lower cholesterol, and coumarins, that may be useful in cancer prevention. To boost flavor but still keep the calorie count to a minimum, you can dip celery in your favorite low fat & low sugar dressing.

Keep a stock pile in the fridge so next time you feel those cravings coming on just grab some and munch away!
