New taste!

I am extremely of Cheryl this evening.

As usual, she waited for me to return from work to give her her dinner and there was a dish of celery sitting on the dining table. My initial thought was that she would not eat this; it's after all not a vegetable everyone fancies and much less a toddler with picky taste buds. But I gave it to her all the same although I had cut it into small pieces.

And guess what, she took it all!

Reasons why she should eat it:

Nutrition Highlights:

Though most cooks in the kitchen look upon celery as a common vegetable, it has a lot of nutrients that can enhance overall good health.

1. Celery contains vitamin C and several other active compounds, one which is known as phalides. Phalides relax the muscles of the arteries that help to regulate blood pressure and allow these vessels to dilate.
2. They also reduce stress hormones which are known to cause blood vessels to constrict.
3. The celery is used as a diuretic. It is rich in potassium and sodium which are two minerals that are important for the body in order to help regulate fluid balance.
