Passte sehr gut zu Kohlrouladen
Gestern gab es bei uns Kohlrouladen. Die kaufe ich immer fertig eingewickelt bei Sky. Ich koche uns dazu dann ein paar Salzkartoffeln und lege die Kohlrouladen in eine Pfanne mit Soße, die es dann gleich dazu gibt, um sie zu garen. Die Soße mache ich aus 1/2 l Wasser und 3 Päckchen normalem Soßenpulver Bratensoße von Aldi, etwas Olivenöl und Rapsöl und 1/2 Teelöffel Salz. Denn mache ich immer noch eine gehackte Zwiebel zum Verfeinern der Soße mit rein und weil ich heute noch ein Rezept vorhabe zu kochen, wo ich eine Portion Staudensellerie zu brauche, der nun reichlich war, habe ich gestern auch gleich einige Stiele und welche der zarten Herzblätter davon fein gehackt mit an die Soße getan. War sehr lecker dann.
Und wie man unten an den Links sieht, die ich Euch mal über den Gesundheitswert über Sellerie gesucht habe, auch besonders gesund. Ich sollte öfter welchen kaufen, glaube ich.
Guten Appetit

Sellerie kann den Blutdruck senken
Glücklicherweise bietet eine der heutzutage am meisten genutzten
Gemüsesorten – Sellerie – mit ihren zähen faserigen Stängeln und ihrer
knackigen Konsistenz eine natürliche Möglichkeit, den
Blutdruck
zu senken, ohne das Risiko möglicher Nebenwirkungen in sich zu tragen,
die bei verschreibungspflichtigen Medikamenten häufig auftreten.
Sellerie enthält essentielle Mineralstoffe
Aber wie kann nun Selleriesaft diese Werte beeinflussen? Dieses
vielseitige Gemüse ist aus hochwirksamen Inhaltsstoffen zusammengesetzt,
die auch Phthalide (bestimmte
ätherische Öle)
enthalten. Sie sorgen für eine Entspannung der Arterienwände, und
tragen auf diese Weise dazu bei, die Gefäße zu weiten, so dass der
Blutstrom mit geringerem Druck fließen kann.
Phthalide sollen auch auf einem anderen Weg für die Senkung des
Blutdrucks, da sie auch in der Lage sind, so genannte Stresshormone
abzubauen. Sellerie enthält zudem hohe Mengen an
Magnesium,
Kalium und Calcium.
Die wohltuende Wirkung dieser Mineralien trägt zu einem ausgeglichenen
Nervensystem bei, und balanciert das „Spannungsniveau“ im Körper aus.

What's New and Beneficial About Celery
- If you have become accustomed to thinking about celery as a crunchy,
low-cal vegetable but not a key part of your health support, it is time
to think again. Recent research has greatly bolstered our knowledge
about celery's anti-inflammatory health benefits, including its
protection against inflammation in the digestive tract itself. Some of
the unique non-starch polysaccharides in celery—including apiuman—appear
especially important in producing these anti-inflammatory benefits.
(Unlike starchy polysaccharides that provide plants with a way to store
simple sugars, these non-starch polysaccharides in celery help provide
this vegetable with its unique structure and are not made from simple
sugars but rather from pectins.)
- In addition to well-known antioxidants like vitamin C and
flavonoids, scientists have now identified at least a dozen other types
of antioxidant nutrients in celery. These antioxidants include
dihydrostilbenoids like lunularin as well as furanocoumarins like
bergapten and psoralen. The antioxidant support we get from celery is
largely due to its phenolic nutrients that have been shown to help
protect us against unwanted oxygen damage to our cells, blood vessels,
and organ systems.
- If you are planning to steam vegetables as part of your meal,
you can include celery without having to worry about excessive loss of
its phenol-based antioxidants. In a recent study, researchers compared
the impact of steaming (10 minutes) versus boiling (10 minutes) versus
blanching (3 minute submersion in boiling water) on the total phenolic
antioxidant nutrients in celery. Both boiling and blanching resulted in
substantial loss of these antioxidants, in the range of 38-41%. With
steaming, however, 83-99% of these antioxidants were retained in the
celery even after 10 minutes. While we encourage the practice of
steaming as a cooking method of choice for many of our WHFoods
vegetables, it's great to see how nutrient-preserving steaming can be in
the case of celery.
- Based on multiple recent studies involving nutrient changes in
stored, refrigerated celery, we recommend a period of 5-7 days as a
window of time for consuming fresh celery. While some nutrients appear
to be stable in whole, refrigerated celery for longer periods of time,
several studies show greater losses of phenolic antioxidants in celery
after this week-long period. In addition, based on changes in flavonoid
content, we also recommend that you wait to chop up your celery just
before you are adding it to a salad or cooked dish (rather than chopping
it up the night before and leaving it stored in the refrigerator
overnight). This will help to preserve its maximum nutrient potential.

Health Benefits
Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Support
Celery is an important food source of conventional antioxidant
nutrients, including vitamin C, beta-carotene, and manganese. But its
"claim to fame" in terms of antioxidant nutrients may very well be its
phytonutrients. Many of these phytonutrients fall into the category of
phenolic antioxidants and have been shown to provide anti-inflammatory
benefits as well. Below is a representative list of the phenolic
antioxidants found in celery.
- Phenolic acids
- caffeic acid
- caffeolyquinic acid
- cinnamic acid
- coumaric acid
- ferulic acid
- Flavones
- Flavonols
- Dihydrostilbenoids
- Phytosterols
- Furanocoumarins
In animal studies, celery extracts containing the above-listed
phytonutrients have been shown to decrease risk of oxidative damage to
body fats and risk of oxidative damage to blood vessel walls. In
addition, these celery extracts have been shown to prevent inflammatory
reactions in the digestive tract and blood vessels. Interestingly, there
is also some animal research showing the ability of celery extracts to
help protect the digestive tract and liver following consumption of
acrylamides. (Acrylamides are potentially toxic substances formed in
food through a reaction of sugars and amino acids, usually through the
process of frying.)
While most of the research above involves animals versus humans,
we have also seen studies showing the importance of celery in diets that
are considered to be high in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory health
benefits. For example, we've seen one recent study showing celery to
provide 7% of all flavonol and flavone antioxidants in the diet of
adults in China. In addition, mechanisms of anti-inflammatory support
have also been shown in human studies. For example, we've seen research
showing the ability of celery juice and celery extracts to lower the
activity of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), as well as the
activity of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB). Decreased levels of the
pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1B (IL-1B) and interleukin 8
(IL-8) have also been seen in these studies. All of these four messaging
molecules play a key role in the body's inflammatory responses, and
keeping them in check is an important step in the prevention of unwanted
inflammation.
One interesting aspect of celery's antioxidant phytonutrients
involves its furanocoumarins. Prior to harvest - when celery is still
growing in the ground - it responds to stress by producing
furanocoumarins in greater amounts. These substances help protect it in
its natural living conditions. Even after celery has been harvested,
however, and you start to chop it up on your kitchen countertop, it will
still increase its production of furanocoumarins, and you will get
greater amounts of these phytonutrients for this reason. (However, it is
incorrect to assume that the chopping of celery makes it nutritionally
"better" than it was before you chopped it. That's because other
phytonutrients decrease simultaneously with the increase in
furanocoumarins. The net result is basically a change in the composition
of the celery phytonutrients, an interesting topic about which we hope
to see more research on in the future.)
Digestive Tract Support
In addition to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients that
help protect the digestive tract as a whole, celery contains
pectin-based polysaccharides that can provide the stomach with special
benefits. We've become accustomed to thinking about polysaccharides as
starchy molecules that are used by cells as a way to store up simple
sugars. But there are other types of polysaccharides in plants,
including the non-starch, pectin-based polysaccharides found in celery.
(Pectin is a sugar-related molecule that is largely formed from a
substance called glucuronic acid.) The pectin-based polysaccharides
found in celery —including apiuman—appear to have special importance in
producing anti-inflammatory benefits. In animal studies, celery extracts
containing apiuman have been shown to improve the integrity of the
stomach lining, decrease risk of stomach ulcer (gastric ulcer), and
better control the levels of stomach secretions. We look forward to
future research that may confirm these stomach support benefits in
humans based on dietary intake of celery in its whole food form.
Cardiovascular Support
Given the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of celery
described earlier in this section, it's not surprising to see the
interest of researchers in the cardiovascular benefits of celery.
Oxidative stress and inflammation in the bloodstream are critical
problems in the development of many cardiovascular diseases, especially
atherosclerosis. Unfortunately, most of the studies we've seen in this
area have involved animals. Still, we've seen promising connections
between the pectin-based polysaccharides in celery and decreased risk of
inflammation in the cardiovascular system. We've seen these same types
of connections between celery flavonoids and decreased risk of
cardiovascular inflammation.
Phthalides are a further category of phytonutrients found in
celery that seems important to mention as providing potential
cardiovascular benefits. Phenolic substances found in celery, phthalides
are a major contributor to the unique flavor of this vegetable.
(Sedanenolide and butylphthalides are examples of phthalides found in
celery.) Researchers have demonstrated that celery phthalides can act as
smooth muscle relaxants, most likely through their impact on the flow
of calcium and potassium inside cells and related nervous system
activity involved with muscle relaxation. Of course, relaxation of
smooth muscles surrounding our blood vessels allows them to expand and
the result is a lowering of our blood pressure. (This overall process is
called vasodilation.)
Phthalides in celery may also act as diuretics, further helping
to lower the pressure inside our blood vessels. Unfortunately, most of
the research we've seen in this area involves celery seeds, celery oil,
or celery extracts - not the whole food itself. So it's not yet clear if
these muscle-relaxant properties and blood pressure-lowering properties
of celery phthalides will be provided to us if we include celery in our
meal plans in everyday food amounts. But we will be surprised if future
research on dietary intake of celery does not show some type of
cardiovascular benefit directly related to celery phthalides.
Other Health Benefits
Because chronic oxidative stress and excessive inflammation are key
risk factors for the development of many cancer types, it's not
surprising to see scientists interested in the potential benefits of
celery intake for cancer prevention. While we've seen speculation about
celery benefits for stomach cancer, colon cancer, and bladder cancer,
we've been unable to find actual human research studies in any of these
areas. Hopefully, future research studies will address the potential
cancer-related benefits of celery much more closely.
