Thanks
Professor Leo for this video on the medicinal value of celery

This
knowledge is not new to me which you only now send to me.
On
Wednesday, September 4, 2024, I have already penned an essay on this in much
greater technical details than what this gentleman mentioned in his video
Here’s
my explanation in this link.
Health Protective Benefits of
Plant-Based Functional Foods (Part 2)
https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/search?q=functional+foods+part+2
There I
mentioned among tens of thousands of vegetable foods, celery is one of them
that has this neuroprotective and neuro-therapeutic values.
It is
quite a long essay I wrote in the link above. But to make it easier, let me
extract out that passage for you and for all here:
“Allow
me as a former research nutritionist, let me quote just one more example how
celery among hundreds of thousands of other plant-based foods can be used as a
medicine
3-n-Butylphthalide (NBP)
is a compound found in celery, and its potential therapeutic value in
various disorders has been suggested. Celery, and its potential therapeutic
value in various disorders has been suggested as one of them.
dl-3-n-butylphthalide (dl-NBP)
is also a powerful antioxidant compound with
profound neuroprotective effects in stroke and brain injury.
However, its role in Parkinson's disease (PD) is not well
known. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the key factors in
precipitating PD like symptoms in civilians and particularly in
military personnel, in car accident victims and others suffering from traumatic
head injuries. Thus, it would be interesting to explore the possible
neuroprotective effects of NBP in PD following concussive head injury
(CHI).
Oxidative
stress may also play an important role in diabetic related diseases.
3-N-butylphthalide and its derivatives serve as a potential treatment option
for diabetic related diseases.
3-N-Butylphthalide and
its derivatives may regulate multiple cellular signalling pathways such as
oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, apoptosis and autophagy.
The
benefits of NBP in dementia are among the most studied. Vascular
dementia presents symptoms of cognitive impairment that often
originated from cerebrovascular pathological conditions. Vascular
lesions and cellular damages incurred from β-amyloid (Aβ)
plaques, oxidative stress, and apoptosis define the underlying pathology
of vascular dementia. Over the years, studies have demonstrated
the neuroprotective effects of NBP in celery via its actions in
interfering with Aβ metabolism, reducing oxidative stress, and inhibiting
apoptotic enzyme activity and consequent cell death. Moreover, the
angiogenic effect of NBP adds to its value in vascular dementia management.
Recent investigations have also looked into improving the bioavailability of
NBP.
Food
and nutrition scientists together with nutritionists have been exploring the
mechanisms of NBP in celery on how it exerts its neuroprotective effects and
how we may apply this vegetable's great potential as a natural food medicine to
treat strokes and brain injuries”.
The
problem is, people don’t read all my efforts, and even if I dedicate any of my
articles to them, they don’t even thank me or at least acknowledge it as a
simple courtesy. So, I delete their names as it is not worth one cent of my
effort for him or her.

Dr Lim You have done very well with all your articles on a vast variety of subjects. My collegues and myself here at the university have been enjoying every moment reading your academic thoughts. Rest assurred you are getting lots of readers even though you said your are wasting your time with liitle or no readers. Kind regards. Keep up on your prolific academic writing
Well said Dr Koy. I too am one of Dr Lim followers without him realizing this
