General
Celery has a "salty" taste due to its natural organic sodium.
I once bought some organically grown celery straight from the organic farm. It was the darkest green celery I have ever seen in my life. The amount of chlorophyll in celery is directly related to how green the celery is. Anyway, the celery I bought was so green that one bite into the celery was all I could eat. The chlorophyll took over and I could feel the chlorophyll "biting" my tongue.
Unfortunately, most celery available today is lacking color. If possible, grow it yourself or buy it directly from an organic farm. You will be amazed at the difference in taste and ultimately nutrition. But if you do get really dark or darker green celery, do use less as a small amount goes a lot further.

Have you been wanting to do hatha yoga (stretching) but have found it either too difficult or you are not that flexible? If yes, and even if no, watch Jesse do some pure hatha yoga routines.
Unlike flow yoga
, each pose in pure or traditional hatha yoga is held for a few minutes. While holding the pose, you focus the mind on the stretch. When you focus the mind, that's when you find silence.
Jesse is not flexible — never has been and probably never will be flexible like others. But it doesn't matter. In pure hatha yoga, how flexible you are makes no difference. It's all about loving the pose and focussing the mind on the stretch.
If you want to learn pure hatha yoga, now you can by following Jesse on a series of hatha yoga routines.
