Thanks to its remineralizing qualities , its juice is recommended in case of convalescence and to combat anemia and hypertension. While also containing a powerful antioxidant it is good for the heart and microcirculation.

Celeriac, on the other hand, has a low calorie content, diuretic and purifying properties . It contains many vitamins such as A, B and C, as well as a good dose of potassium, magnesium, iodine, phosphorus, iron, calcium and selenium. It also has digestive properties and is another recommended ingredient in case of convalescence.
