9 things to note when eating instant noodles
Instant noodles are now indispensable in our lives because of their convenience and attractive taste. However, eating too much instant noodles can cause many health problems.
Scientific research has proven that to maintain and improve 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.
Easily causes heat in the body
The crispiness and aroma of instant noodles all come from the oil. People who like to eat instant noodles often feel their mouths dry and hot, but in fact, at this time, the fire has already begun to accumulate and pressurize the body. Eating more than a certain amount of instant noodles will cause heat in the body.
Prone to rectal 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 has little fiber, and during processing, fiber and minerals are lost.
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 stools stay 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 wheat flour, fat, and flavorings, but they do not contain the 7 essential nutrients for the body. If eaten for a long time, it will lack other nutrients, causing the body to be malnourished, thereby causing a series of diseases such as dizziness, lightheadedness, loss of strength, rapid heartbeat, mental anxiety....
Causes obesity and related diseases
The instant noodle processing 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
Antioxidants are added to the fat in instant noodles, but this only slows down the oxidation process and prolongs the time it takes for the noodles to lose their flavor. Long-term consumption of too many antioxidants will adversely affect the endocrine system and promote aging.
Additives
To create the flavor of instant noodles, prolong the shelf life, usually add some additives such as preservatives, antioxidants, phosphates, etc. These substances due to long-term storage, environmental influences, etc. will gradually deteriorate, after eating will be harmful to the body. If accumulated in the body for a long time, it 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 (over 120 degrees Celsius) that produce acrylamide, a carcinogen.
