Celery: the next big thing

May 22nd, 2008 09:00

Celery is the latest superfood, packed with health benefits.Now, you might have noticed that here at DietPixie, we like our superfoods.

Another day, another superfood, you might think. Maybe you’re right. However, don’t write celery off just yet.

Studies have shown that, as well as having only a few calories to help you get stick-thin, the stick-thin veg (ahem) contains the compounds lutolin and diosmin to boost your health.

Amy Winehouse On Beach, In Bikini, Has Been Eating Food

Breaking news: Amy Winehouse is not, at the time of going to press, on the brink of death. As recently as yesterday, she was frolicking on a beach in the sun like an actual human.

The troubled singer-songwriter (where “troubled” is an euphemism for ‘we expect her to be found dead in a ditch any second’) spent Sunday on a beach in St. Lucia. We thought she was in rehab in London, but OK.

So far, her latest stint in treatment doesn’t seem to have done Wino any harm; splashing around in a pair of bikini bottoms, she’s distinctly less skeletal and has clearly undergone the process that the Daily Mail refers to as “packing on the pounds” and we at DietPixie call “starting to consume something other than crack”.

Amy has also reportedly started working out for two hours a day - and it seems ‘working out’ is not just code for ‘rolling around on the floor, clawing at the walls and screaming for drugs/booze/Blake’. She has apparently hired a personal trainer and “bounds in to work out on the bikes, weights and Power Plate”.

On the one hand, I’m pleased to see Amy looking a bit more human and actually smiling for a change. On the other hand, things have got pretty bad if Amy freaking Winehouse spends more time in the gym than I do. Who am I supposed to use now as my ‘it could be worse’ person? “It could be worse, you could be Amy Winehouse.” It’s not going to work if she’s running around on Caribbean beaches, now is it?

Still, there’s always Britney.
