So, we all know about the "negative calories" thing that celery has going on. The favorite snack of health conscious women everywhere. Even if they don't actually like how it tastes, at least they know that everyone who sees them eating it will think that they are super healthy.
Apart from its slimming properties (I cannot promise that you will be thin if you eat celery), this vegetable also serves another, less well-known, and harder to prove, purpose which brings me to the actual point of this entry because, as you know, I am not writing a food blog.
Celery contains androsterone, a hormone naturally found in the human male. This hormone contributes to the feelings of physical attraction suffered by women around the world. So, in a way, you could say that celery is a healthy alternative to the "feel good" feelings you get from chocolate.
I will confess to being a celery addict, although this was true of me long before I researched its somewhat questionable roots as an aphrodisiac. I don't know how much I believe that, to be honest. I think I like it because it tastes good.
But don't take my word for it, test it out. Go buy some celery. Oh, and by the way, it only works for girls. Sorry guys.
