9 things to note when eating instant noodles
Instant noodles now seem to be indispensable in our lives because of their convenience and attractive taste. However, eating too much instant noodles will bring many harmful effects to your health.
Scientific research has proven that to maintain and enhance normal physiological function of the brain, it is necessary to have 8 nutrients including: lecithin, protein, sugar, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B. Meanwhile, in instant noodles, the nutritional content of lecithin and vitamins is very low, eating it regularly will not be beneficial for thinking activity and brain development.
Easy to cause heat in the body
The crispness and aroma of instant noodles all come from the oil. People who like to eat instant noodles often feel their mouths dry and hot. In fact, at this time, the heat has already begun to accumulate and pressurize the body. Just eating more than a certain amount of instant noodles will cause heat in the body.
Prone to colon cancer
Research has shown that consuming the right amount of fiber and calcium helps prevent colon cancer. Instant noodles are made from refined wheat flour, which itself is low in fiber, and fiber and minerals are lost during processing.
If you eat instant noodles for a long time, your body will lack vitamins and calcium, making you susceptible to colon cancer. Eating a lot of instant noodles also makes constipation worse, and stool stays in the colon for a long time, which is also a factor leading to colon cancer.
Causes imbalance in stomach and intestinal function
Children who eat a lot of instant noodles will have an imbalance in their stomach and intestines, causing bloating, stomach pain, etc.
Because instant noodles are crispy, dry foods like fried chicken and fried potatoes, they contain many additives and flavor enhancers. Eating them regularly will make your taste buds less responsive, causing loss of appetite.
Children who eat too much instant noodles are likely to develop a disease of only liking to eat one or two types of food.
Incomplete nutrition
The main ingredients of instant noodles are flour, oil, and flavoring agents, but they do not contain the 7 essential nutrients for the body. If eaten for a long time, it will lack other nutrients, making the body malnourished, thereby causing a series of diseases such as dizziness, lightheadedness, loss of strength, rapid heartbeat, mental insecurity, etc.
Causes obesity and related diseases
The process of making instant noodles completely destroys the original vitamin B, so instant noodles basically only provide enough calories for the body to function. Since instant noodles do not have nutrients, they must be eaten with other foods, resulting in too much carbohydrate and fat entering the body.
Therefore, regularly eating instant noodles will cause obesity and increase the risk of obesity-related diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood fat, diabetes, heart disease, etc.
Accelerates the aging process
The fat in instant noodles is usually supplemented with antioxidants, but it only slows down the oxidation rate, prolonging the time it takes for the noodles to lose their flavor. Long-term intake of too many antioxidants will adversely affect the endocrine system and promote aging.
Additives
To create the flavor of instant noodles and extend their shelf life, some additives such as preservatives, antioxidants, phosphates, etc. are usually added. These substances will gradually deteriorate due to long-term storage and environmental influences. After eating, they will be harmful to the body. If they accumulate in the body for a long time, they will cause serious consequences.
The manufacturing process produces harmful substances.
Because instant noodles are processed with oil, during the processing, a chemical reaction can occur, creating some harmful substances, similar to starchy foods when cooked at high temperatures (exceeding 120 degrees Celsius) all produce acrylamide, a carcinogen.
