I love these veggies sticks. It is great way to satisfy your crunchy, salty craving. Also, it is wonderful way to use all the veggies you don't have time to consume in time before they get spoiled.
Equipment needed: vegetable slicer, knife, and dehydrator
Ingredients:
Zucchini
Peppers
Onions
Celtic salt
Pepper
Extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Other seasonings as you desire (oregano, basil, parsley)
Directions:
Slice veggies and add salt and pepper. Massage the veggies. Place the mixture onto Teflex sheets. Dehydrate until they are completely dry.
Enjoy!

Moringa oleifera is a horseradish plant. It is a fast growing and can grow over 3meters in first year. Also, it can grow in harsh conditions and is drought tolerant. Therefore, growing Moringa has been implemented in countries with malnourishment and have inability to grow any other crops.
According to John Hopkins School of Medicine study by Jed W. Fahey, Sc.D., "A large number of reports on the nutritional qualities of Moringa now exist in both the scientific and the popular literature. Moringa trees have been used to combat malnutrition,especially among infants and nursing mothers.

According to the study by ChinmoyK. Bose, MD, PhD, "The effectiveness of the moringa plant in treating ovarian cancer became evident after the publication of recent studies demonstrating that benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) induce apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells in vitro.[6,7] We knew that isothiocyanates have antitumor activity in cancers of the lung, breast, skin, esophagus, and pancreas, but we did not know that it can also induce apoptosis in ovarian cancer cell in vitro".
