Step 3: Heat the remaining oil and add celery and chili. Stir-fry quickly over high heat for about a minute, then add the daylily bulbs.

Beauty benefits of celery and daylily bulbs
Daylily bulbs are rich in starch, protein, and fat. Their nutritional value surpasses that of many vegetables. They can boost the body’s immune system and promote metabolism. Additionally, they improve skin circulation, enhance skin nutrition, increase skin elasticity and softness, and reduce the risk of wrinkles. They are also used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat skin diseases.
Both celery and daylily bulbs offer skin-enhancing and weight loss benefits.
Celery, on the other hand, has diuretic properties, helping to eliminate excess water from the body and reducing swelling. It is also low in calories and sugar while being high in fiber, making it advantageous for weight loss as it requires more energy to chew.
Moreover, celery aids in intestinal peristalsis, prevents constipation, alleviates indigestion, and may even reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Its antioxidant properties not only help the body fight aging but also slow down skin aging.
