You missed one!

Not sure how this plays on the diabetes front, but for arthritis and gout and bp it’s supposed to be dam near miraculous.

Eat celery!

(I luv the stuff. Lucky, I guess, I like alot of things like celery and spinach and blueberries and eggs that are good for me)

Actually, I thought this article would give information about different foods like celery. Disappointed it didn’t.

Your info about celery for arthritis and all is interesting. I’ll have to start eating it more and see what happens.

From a cooking point of view, if you chop up celery small, the texture can mimic nuts. I use it in jello mold sometimes to stretch the nuts, which I can’t eat a lot of due to diverticulitis.

I always wonder about fennel, which I grew up eating in an Italian household. It’s very much like celery, but tastes like licorice and (it figures, because I like it) is more expensive. I wonder if it has the same health benefits.
