March – Introduce More Carrots in Your Diet

Published

on

Reading Time: 5 minutes

 

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.

SynFutures Announces Foundation, F Token Airdrop, and Initial Exchange Listings

Published

on

synfutures-announces-foundation,-f-token-airdrop,-and-initial-exchange-listings

The launch of SynFutures Foundation and F signifies SynFutures’ progress toward decentralization, enabling its community to govern the protocol.

HONG KONG, Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SynFutures (www.synfutures.com), a leading decentralized exchange for trading any asset with leverage and a full stack financial infrastructure provider, today announced the launch of SynFutures Foundation and the F token airdrop. Crypto exchanges including Bybit, Bitget, Gate.io, and KuCoin have confirmed the listing of the F token upon launch. This marks the beginning of SynFutures decentralizing its ecosystem and transitioning governance power to its community.

SynFutures has become a key player in the onchain derivatives ecosystem since its v3 launch on Base and Blast earlier in 2024. Its v3 protocol, powered by the Oyster AMM, has recorded over $210 billion in trading volume since launch, making it the largest perp DEX on Base and the third largest across all EVM and non-EVM chains.

The launch of SynFutures Foundation and F marks the next step in SynFutures’ successful journey toward creating an open, permissionless, and decentralized financial infrastructure for everyone.

Transitioning power to the community

The SynFutures Foundation, alongside the community, will oversee development, foster partnerships, and drive community-led governance to ensure a truly permissionless financial ecosystem. This includes initiatives such as project collaborations, grants and funding for third-party developers, community initiatives, hackathons, and similar programs.

The F token, based on Ethereum Mainnet, accords the SynFutures community with governance rights while offering benefits such as fee discounts, staking rewards, and future airdrop boosts. With 10 billion tokens allocated strategically across Community, Backers and Advisors, Foundation Treasury, Core Contributors, Protocol Development, and Liquidity, F represents a fair and balanced approach to rewarding early supporters and community members and ensuring sustainable growth.

The project has allocated 28.5% of its total F supply toward the Community. A part of this allocation, equivalent to 7.5% of the total supply, will be distributed as part of the Season 1 Airdrop on December 6, 2024, to reward users who engaged consistently with SynFutures v1 to v3.

SynFutures used various parameters to assess users’ eligibility for the Season 1 airdrop, including trading activities on v1 and v2 and points accumulation through trading on v3. Long-term and active users who have consistently traded on multiple versions of the SynFutures protocol will be eligible for a bonus. Early adopters will also be rewarded with a portion of the airdrop.

Between December 2 to December 5, users can participate in Bybit’s launchpool to earn F tokens prior to token listing.  Users can also participate in staking on Gate.io to earn a portion of 75,000 $F tokens on launch day.

“Since day one, decentralization has been at the heart of SynFutures’ mission. With the Foundation and F token, we’re a step closer to that milestone and are empowering the community to shape the protocol’s future,” said Rachel Lin, Co-Founder & CEO of SynFutures.

Building a full-stack DeFi solution

One of the biggest milestones for SynFutures going forward is expanding its onchain financial services and building a community-centric full-stack finance ecosystem. It will expand its offerings beyond perp trading and gradually add more services including spot aggregation, and wealth management, among others.

About SynFutures

SynFutures (F) is a leading decentralized exchange and full-stack financial infrastructure provider. Utilizing its innovative Oyster AMM model and a fully onchain order-matching engine, SynFutures enables anyone to list and trade any asset with leverage. As the top perpetual futures DEX on multiple networks like Base, it introduced the industry’s first Perp Launchpad, attracting bluechips, memecoins, and more.

Backed by top-tier institutions like Pantera, Polychain, Dragonfly, Standard Crypto, Framework, and SIG, SynFutures is building an all-in-one platform for spot, perpetual, and wealth management, streamlining DeFi for all.
