List of foods for eye health that are easily available besides carrots

by

KONTAN.CO.ID – Jakarta. Dietary nutritional intake has a major impact on health, including eye health or vision. There are various foods for eye health that we can easily find everyday without us knowing it.

Vision problems are one of the most crucial problems in the health and function of the human body. As people get older, usually a person’s vision starts to blur. Not only that, eye muscle tension that is difficult to avoid due to close-range activities can also worsen a person’s eye condition.

Even so, the risk of this eye health problem can be significantly reduced by changing a healthier lifestyle. This is mainly related to the intake of nutrients that enter our bodies.

According to The Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) published in 2001, nutrients such as zinc, copper, vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene can reduce the risk of age-related decline in eye health. Another study conducted in 2013 also found nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, zeaxanthin, and lutein also have benefits for eye health.

Launching from Medical News Today, oily fish is fish that has oil in the intestines and body tissues. Fish that contain the highest levels of omega-3 such as tuna, salmon, mackerel, anchovies, mackerel, sardines.

Several studies have found that fish oil can heal dry eyes, including the consequences of spending too much time on the computer.

2. Nuts and legumes

Nuts and legumes are also foods for eye health because they contain vitamin E which protects eye cells from free radicals. Launching from US News, vitamin E also slows the development of cataracts and macular degeneration, which is an age-related vision disorder.

Sweet potato is also a food for eye health. Like carrots, sweet potatoes are rich in beta carotene. Sweet potatoes are also a great source of the antioxidant vitamin E.

9. Eggs

Eggs are also a food for eye health as they are an excellent source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which can reduce the risk of age-related vision loss. Not only that, eggs are also a source of vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc. The ingredients in eggs help increase the amount of protective pigment in the macula, the part of the eye that controls central vision.

10. Red peppers

Grab more mergers than Gojek

by

ILLUSTRATION. If the merger between GoJek and Grab materializes, there will be a consolidation in the ride sharing business in Southeast Asia. KONTAN / Fransiskus Simbolon / 28/03/2019

Reporter: Dikky Setiawan | Editor: Dikky Setiawan

KONTAN.CO.ID –JAKARTA. The news of the merger between two startups labeled Decacorn, namely Gojek and Grab, received various comments from economists.

Economist at Indef Bhima Yudhistira said that if the merger occurs, there will be a consolidation in the ride sharing business in Southeast Asia. However, with the condition that Gojek has a stronger brand and market in Indonesia as the largest market in Southeast Asia, the merger is considered to be more needed by Grab.

With the various pressures faced, this action is considered to be more profitable for the Singapore-based company. “In business, Gojek’s market share is stronger and has a more positive brand image in Indonesia.

Meanwhile, Grab is superior abroad. But for Southeast Asia, Indonesia is the key because it is the largest market, so Gojek’s bargaining position is stronger, “said Bhima in Jakarta, Sunday (20/9).

The issue of the Gojek and Grab merger arose in line with the deterioration of SoftBank’s business as the main support for Grab funding. A number of SoftBank investments are known to have suffered heavy losses.

In fact, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, in fiscal 2019 the Vision Fund, a subsidiary whose 40% investment was in ride sharing, had to write off US $ 17.7 billion due to the failed IPO of WeWork and also Uber Technologies Inc.

Vision Fund’s investments in ride-sharing assets are spread all over the world. For example, US $ 7.7 billion in Uber, US $ 11.8 billion to Didi China, US $ 3 billion to Grab Singapore. The investment value of the Vision Fund in the transportation and logistics business sector is estimated at US $ 33 billion.

“As a result of the pandemic, the online transportation business will still slow down until 2021. The food delivery business has also not been able to cover the losses due to the decline in the transportation business. This is what business players such as Gojek and Grab must find solutions to,” added Bima.

Meanwhile, in the midst of its efforts to withstand large losses, Softbank is known to have divested a number of its investment assets in various countries. Most recently, the Japanese investment company sold its stake in ARM, a British chip company for USD 40 billion.

Change in business strategy

SoftBank is also in the process of selling shares in German telecommunications company T-Mobile for US $ 21 billion. Meanwhile, as the holder of 60% stake in Grab, Softbank also has to face Uber’s potential to pay out US $ 2 billion if Grab finally fails to IPO in 2023.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Gojek seemed to be quicker to change its business strategy. This is what makes Gojek look better prepared to face the decline in the transportation business due to the PSBB policy. Indonesians are increasingly getting to know Gojek with services that are a solution during a pandemic, such as GoFood, Gosend and so on.

“The challenges in the future will be more dynamic and demands from markets with different lifestyles must be fulfilled by Gojek and Grab,” Bhima added.

Previously, Gojek had made a series of strategic changes to deal with the pandemic. One of them decided to refocus on this business. These core businesses include transportation, food delivery and electronic money businesses.

Gojek has also stopped a number of non-core services that have been affected by the pandemic and completely restructured its organization in order to optimize growth.

“Our focus is on core services, stopping services that cannot survive the pandemic and making bold decisions to adapt to changing customer priorities,” said Gojek’s Chief Corporate Affairs, Nila Marita.

Meanwhile, Grab is also making various efficiency efforts to anticipate a decline in business. One of them is laying off 360 employees. Grab CEO and Co Founder Anthony Tan expressed his gratitude to the 360 ​​affected employees for contributing to building Grab.

“To those affected, we owe you a further explanation,” said Tan.

by

ILLUSTRATION. J Trust Bank has released several deposit service programs with high deposit rates

Reporter: KONTAN Team | Editor: Ridwal Prima Gozal

KONTAN.CO.ID – JAKARTA. Bank Indonesia (BI) has just decided to keep the benchmark interest rate at 4%. This decision takes into account the need to maintain the stability of the Rupiah exchange rate, amidst inflation which is expected to remain low. However, PT Bank JTrust Indonesia Tbk. (BCIC) or better known as J Trust Bank, has the courage to provide competitive yield on time deposits.

In fact, in mid-September, the average J Trust Bank deposit interest rate is at an upper level. For example, J Trust Bank’s deposit program “Let’s 1,2,3” offers three benefits of deposit interest by placing deposits three times in one period.

In the J Trust time deposit program, which is held for the period 1-30 September 2020, customers must place their deposit funds three times in a row with a total placement of IDR 70 million in one period. Customers will get different deposit rates for each placement.

Also Read: The trend in the average deposit interest rate is sloping, J Trust Bank has the courage to give high yields

On the first deposit, the customer places funds with a nominal value of IDR 20 million with an interest rate of 8% per annum (pa), the second deposit of IDR 20 million (8.25% pa) and the third deposit of IDR 30 million (8.5% pa) with an available term of 2 , 3,6 and 12 months.

Under this program, the 20% tax provision for deposit interest remains in effect. If the customer does break deposits, the penalty will be charged to the customer according to the applicable regulations. The J Trust deposit program “Let’s 1,2,3” can be followed by new customers as well as old customers with new funds (fresh fund).

For customers who have joined the deposit program special rate with a previous 8% deposit interest and has reached a nominal value of IDR 20 million, customers can still participate in this program. To do this, customers can continue the program by placing funds in the second and third deposits.

The deposit placement does not have to be on the same day but must be in one program period. Therefore, if there are one or two deposits whose placement exceeds the program period date, these deposits cannot be calculated in this program.

In addition, the interest rate for deposit interest that has been set on previous deposits can be canceled and adjusted to the prevailing interest rate in accordance with the ALCO (Asset and Liability Committee).

If there is a customer who happens to be unable to be contacted / has difficulty having to come to the branch office when the deposit is due while the terms of the program cannot be extended, the deposit must be extended by changing the interest rate for deposit interest back to the prevailing interest rate according to ALCO provisions.

KONTAN.CO.ID – Kota Podomoro Tenjo, a new independent and satellite city offered by Agung Podomoro Group (APG), a property developer with more than half a century of experience in Indonesia, has succeeded in creating a property boom amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic conditions.

Within a month of being introduced to the community, consumer interest in owning a residence in the Podomoro Tenjo city has reached more than 1000 people. The high level of consumer interest is an indicator that property demand remains high amid the dynamic economic situation due to the pandemic.

Assistant Vice President for Podomoro City, Zaldy Wihardja, said that consumer interest in owning property in the city of Podomoro Tenjo is extraordinary. This shows that the community’s need for housing in the middle segment is still high. Moreover, the properties that Agung Podomoro marketed in this new city have an affordable price range.

“The development of the new city of Podomoro Tenjo is an initiative and innovation of APG to provide quality housing, with facilities that support the lifestyle of today’s society, especially aspects of environmental health, infrastructure and access to transportation. We were very surprised by the public response to property in Podomoro Tenjo,” said Zaldy in a Virtual Webinar with the theme “Property Market Booming Amid Pandemic” which was held in Jakarta (18/09).

Zaldy explained that Podomoro Tenjo City is in a strategic location which is supported by infrastructure development in the West Java region. For example the Serpong-Balaraja toll road project. From an economic perspective, this area is a meeting point for 3 regencies / cities that have high and stable economic growth, namely Bogor Regency, Tangerang Regency and South Tangerang Regency. This area is one of the regions with quite high industrial growth.

“Podomoro Tenjo City has been planned for a long time in line with the increase in economic activity and population mobility to the western area of ​​Jakarta. APG deliberately released this project during a pandemic because in this difficult situation someone had to dare to take the initiative so that industry and the economy would move forward. We are grateful that the support from the community and other stakeholders is very good, “he explained.

The people’s interest in buying property in the Podomoro Tenjo City area is also influenced by a number of factors including:

1. Ease of access and support for community mobility to other cities such as Jakarta, Banten and Bogor. Kota Mandiri and the new Satellite are supported by the Grand Transit Oriented Development (TOD) infrastructure which will make it easier for people to access their destination. From the social side, the community will be disciplined in carrying out the culture of using public transportation in an orderly manner, and economically, it will certainly cut time and costs so that community mobility will be more effective and efficient.

2. When the pandemic ends, property prices in the region will tend to increase. This situation is also a consideration for the community to buy property in the City of Podomoro Tenjo. Especially now that many banks provide facilities such as providing long tenors and mortgage promos with low interest rates.

3. The track record and name of a credible and trusted developer are also considered by the community in buying property. Kota Podomoro Tenjo is an offering by the Agung Podomoro Group which has quite strong milestones in the property industry. APG is a market leader whose projects are developing in big cities in Indonesia such as Jakarta, Bogor, Karawang, Bandung, Medan, Balikpapan, Samarinda and Batam.

4. Kota Podomoro Tenjo is part of the Agung Podomoro Group presenting quality property products because they carry Brand Equity. For 51 years, APG has always provided quality products and the best facilities. These two aspects have succeeded in proving that the value of APG’s property projects continues to increase every year and become a profitable investment asset.

Kota Podomoro Tenjo has quality products and premium facilities at an affordable price.
