March – Introduce More Carrots in Your Diet
Although carrots are available throughout the year, carrots grown at local, seasonal, summer and autumn season are more preferable because they are fresher and more delicious. Carrots are part of the Umbelliferae family, called after-umbrella, like clusters of flowers radiates from a single point. Per se, carrots are closely related as a family of, fennel, parsley, anise, cumin, caraway and dill.
We are fortunate to have the results of a new 10-year study in the Netherlands with carrots and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) – and these results are really fascinating. The fruit and vegetable input in the study was classified by color and focused on four color categories: green, orange / yellow, red / violet, white. Of these four categories, orange / yellow (and, in particular, deep orange and yellow foods) have been the most beneficial and protective against cardiovascular diseases. Participants who ate at least 25 grams of carrots (25 grams, less than one quarter of a cup) had a significantly lower risk of CVD. Groups of participants who ate 50 or 75 grams more had an even lower risk of CVD!
Much of the research has focused on carotenoids in carrots and their important antioxidant benefits. After all, carrots (along with pumpkin and spinach) have a high ranking on the list of legumes considered antioxidants, commonly consumed in the US. But recent studies have come to the conclusion and brought the carrot as a part of nutrients called phytonutrients. In carrots, the most important components are polyacetylenes, falcarinol and falcarindiol. Several recent studies have identified these polyacetylenes in carrot as phytonutrients that can help inhibit the growth of colon cancer cells. These new findings are exciting because they suggest a key interaction between carotenoids and polyacetylenes carrots. Apparently, rich carotenoid content in carrots helps prevent oxidative damage not only inside our body but can also help prevent oxidative damage. In other words, these two stunning groups of carrot phytonutrients can work together in a synergistic way to maximize their benefits in our health!
Carrots have been found to have a better taste, while cooked steam! In a recent study on examining different methods in cooking vegetables, study participants were asked to evaluate the flavor and taste, the overall acceptability of the results. Compared with boiling points, study participants significantly favored the general taste and acceptability of steamed carrots, as compared to boiled ones.

Carrots are probably best known for providing rich nutrients and antioxidants, which was actually called: beta-carotene. However, these delicious root vegetables are the source of not only beta-carotene, but also contain a wide variety of antioxidants and other nutrients. They are beneficial in cardiovascular problems but are also anti-cancer nutrients.
Antioxidant benefits
All carrot varieties contain significant amounts of antioxidant nutrients. Included here are traditional antioxidants, such as vitamin C, as well as phytonutrient antioxidants such as beta-carotene. The list includes:
carotenoids
alpha-carotene
beta-carotene
lutein
Hydroxycinnamic acids
caffeic acid
Coumaric acid
Ferulic acid
Anthocyanidins
cyanidins
malvidin
Different varieties of carrots contain different amounts of these antioxidant phytonutrients. Red and purple carrots, for example, are best known for their rich anthocyanin content. The oranges are particularly remarkable in terms of beta-carotene content, which accounts for 65% of their total carotenoid content. In yellow carrots, 50% of all carotenoids come from lutein.
Cardiovascular benefits
Given their richness in antioxidants, it is not surprising to find many studies about it. Our cardiovascular system needs constant protection. Thus they (carrots) are considered cardioprotective.
The anti-cancer benefits
The anti-cancer benefits of carrot have been proven in the prevention and treatment of colon cancer. Part of this research involved the actual intake of carrot juice by the participants, as well as other research that involved studies on different types of cancer cells.
“Baby” carrots are rich in nutrients and low in calories and are ideal for raw or steam snacks or in a mixture of vegetables.
What do they contain?
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is the nutrient found in carrots of all types and varieties. Each minced “cup” contains 21384 IUs – international units. The daily dose, for example recommended for women, is 2,300 IU, or 700 micrograms. Vitamin A helps ensure good vision, healthy skin and proper functioning of the immune system. For the reproduction of a cell, we need vitamin A, but it also participates in bone formation. Vitamin A in carrot comes in the form of beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A during digestion. Although carrot consumption is beneficial, taking large amounts of vitamin A through supplements can cause toxicity.
Fiber
A cup of baby-chopped carrots or large carrots contains 3.6 grams of dietary fiber, which is up 10 percent of the amount we need in a day. Fiber supports digestion, regland and helping constipated people. Fiber-rich diets are also linked to lowering cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of diabetes and preventing colon cancer. Foods rich in fiber are also useful for weight control, adding the amount of free calories to food.
Vitamin K
Vitamin K is an essential vitamin that plays a role in blood clotting and the production of certain bone proteins. A cup of baby-carrots or chopped carrots contains about 17 micrograms of vitamin K; adult women need 90 micrograms per day. Other excellent sources of vitamin K are everything that is green and dark green, leaves such as cabbage, spinach, and broccoli and soybean oil. If you take any anticoagulant, such as warfarin, it can not be taken safely with large amounts of vitamin K.
C vitamin
At 7.6 milligrams of vitamin C per cup of minced carrots, carrots provide about 10 per cent of the 75 milligram daily needed for women. Our body uses vitamin C for a lot of functions, including immune support, cell repair and wound healing. Vitamin C also helps you absorb iron from food, which is especially important for menstruation in women. However, there is no truth in that myth, which tells us that consuming large amounts of vitamin C helps prevent colds. Although vitamin C supplements can regularly reduce the duration of colds. They play an important role in cancers and tumors, being antitumor, and yes they play an important role in fighting various viruses and bacteria, etc.
Our carrot vegan cream soup contains:
A bigger handful of baby carrots, a tiny root of parsley, a half of white onion (or leeks), 1 tablespoon organic coconut butter, a little Himalayan salt, spring water – mix together in the blender and get serve with dry mint (vegetables can boil light in steam, or you can make the soup in their raw state)

Abeille Assurances Relies on Location Intelligence and Data Enrichment from Precisely to Manage Climate Risks and Enhance Customer Experience
Leading French insurer leverages spatial analytics and location data to improve claims processes and empower confident decision-making across the business
BURLINGTON, Mass. and PARIS, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Precisely, the global leader in data integrity, today announced that Abeille Assurances, a leading insurance provider in France, leverages a powerful combination of its location intelligence and data enrichment solutions, including Precisely Spectrum Spatial, Precisely Spectrum Geocoding, and highly curated address and property datasets, to strengthen risk mitigation, optimize underwriting, and enhance customer experiences.
The importance of location intelligence and data enrichment to the insurance industry has grown significantly in recent years. This need has been driven by the increasing impacts of extreme weather events caused by climate change – with geospatial and data-driven insights playing a crucial role in predicting and mitigating risks to buildings, infrastructure, ecosystems, and human health. According to the European Environmental Agency, extreme weather has resulted in more than half a trillion euros in economic damage over the past four decades. In particular, flooding risks are escalating in France and across Europe, where volatile weather patterns threaten large populations and critical infrastructure.
“As climate-related risks continue to evolve, it has become essential to enrich our data with spatial information – not only for prevention but also for effective risk management,” said Rosine Gergaud, Geomatics Project Manager and Head of the GeoAnalytics team at Abeille Assurances. “In order to ensure access to accurate, automated geographic information, the GeoAnalytics team was established to develop spatial analysis for all entities of our business. I’m extremely proud to have been involved in this project for so many years and to see positive results for Abeille Assurances’ teams.”
Enhancing climate risk management with advanced geospatial solutions
With a decade-long partnership already in place, the GeoAnalytics team trusted Precisely for its expertise in spatial analytics and data enrichment. By using Spectrum Spatial alongside its existing Spectrum Global Geocoding implementation, the team can support its Climate Exposure and Underwriting functions. This enables the team to dynamically visualize policyholders and nearby risks with precision, delivering highly accurate exposure assessments.
“Spectrum Spatial satisfied all our various needs to better monitor and take ownership of our exposures,” said Delphine Jeanneau-Bernard, Exposures Management Project Manager and Head of Damage Exposures and Climate Risks at Abeille Assurances. “The big benefit is its flexibility, which is the opposite of the ‘black box’ tools that we’re used to seeing on the market. We were able to implement it very quickly, integrate our own maps and data, and develop a custom module that was eagerly awaited by our underwriting teams.”
With the new capabilities, the GeoAnalytics team expanded its reach, enabling new use cases across departments. For example, claims teams can now visualize Abeille Assurances’ entire network of partners, such as approved garages and service providers, helping claimants receive faster and more efficient support. This expanded functionality also freed up the GeoAnalytics team to focus on creating new projects and web services while maintaining efficient tool administration. Additionally, automated updates and streamlined processes ensure users can independently access critical geographic information – empowering confident decision-making across the business.
Leveraging highly curated location data for even greater accuracy
In addition, Abeille Assurances recently purchased Base Immeubles from Precisely, comprehensive data containing 24 million addresses, 50 million buildings, and 94 million parcels across metropolitan France and its overseas territories. This data provides precise address and property information and building-level details, such as construction year and parcel attributes – helping the team in all stages of the customer lifecycle, from underwriting to claims management.
“As extreme weather events become more frequent and severe, insurers must leverage precise location intelligence to assess risks accurately and protect their policyholders. Abeille Assurances is a prime example of how advanced geospatial analytics and data can drive smarter underwriting, enhance claims management, and improve customer experiences,” said Clarence Hempfield, Senior Vice President – Location Intelligence at Precisely. “We’re proud to support their continued innovation with our location intelligence and data enrichment solutions and be the partner of choice for leading insurance companies around the world.”
Learn more about how Precisely and Abeille Assurances are working together—and why 8 of the world’s 10 leading insurance companies trust Precisely for location intelligence and data enrichment.
