Getting an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals will keep your body functioning well and your energy levels at their best during weight loss. Celery does not provide a large amount of vitamins and minerals, but 1 cup does contain 8 to 10 percent of your daily needs for vitamin A, folate and potassium.
What are oils? Oils are fats that are liquid at room temperature. Oils can come from plants (vegetable oils and nut oils) and from fish (fish oils). Most oils are high in the healthy monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats and low in the unhealthy saturated fats. Oils from plant sources do not contain any cholesterol.
An essential oil is a liquid that is generally distilled (most frequently by steam or water) from the leaves, stems, flowers, bark, roots, or other elements of a plant. Essential oils, contrary to the use of the word oil are not really oily-feeling at all. Most essential oils are clear, but some oils such as patchouli, orange and lemongrass are amber or yellow in color. Essential oils contain the true essence of the plant it was derived from. Essential oils are highly concentrated and a little goes a long way. Essential oils are not the same as perfume or fragrance oils.
