Harm of eating instant noodles

Instant noodles are refined flour food, so this "over-refined" food contains eight nutrients, such as lecithin, protein, sugar, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B, which are surprisingly low and cannot meet the nutritional needs of human body. The harm of eating instant noodles for a long time is to damage brain activity. Instant noodles contain too little cellulose, and chronic constipation is also one of the hazards of eating instant noodles. Long-term accumulation of feces in the large intestine is easy to induce intestinal cancer. If fried instant noodles are eaten directly without soaking, their crispy and delicious taste is really attractive, but it is easy to feel dry mouth and fever. At this time, internal heat accumulates in the body, causing excessive internal heat. Other convenient ingredients are also harmful. For example, soup packets are mainly monosodium glutamate and video additives. Long-term consumption will dull the taste and affect the normal appetite.

Although many instant noodles now claim that they are not fried, they will contain edible oil to some extent. Therefore, the oil in instant noodles will be oxidized and decomposed by air for a long time, resulting in toxic aldehyde peroxides. Eating this oil-deteriorated instant noodles will bring you unexpected troubles, such as dizziness, headache, fever, vomiting, diarrhea and other poisoning phenomena. Instant noodles will produce some harmful substances in the production process. All starchy foods will produce acrylamide when cooked at high temperature (above 120℃), and instant noodles fried at high temperature will also contain acrylamide.

Is instant noodles nutritious?

The debate about whether instant noodles are nutritious has a long history. Many people feel unhealthy when they mention instant noodles, but in fact, instant noodles are nutritious, or more accurately, instant noodles bring energy.

Instant noodles are mainly composed of flour cakes and seasonings. The nutrition of bread is mainly starch, oil and protein, and B vitamins and minerals from flour. In this way, instant noodles are also nutritious, just saying that their nutrition is relatively simple, which naturally cannot be compared with a normal diet with vegetables and meat, which is why we can't use instant noodles instead of dinner.

The seasoning package of instant noodles mainly contains oil, salt, monosodium glutamate, spices and some dehydrated vegetables. In fact, the nutritional value of dehydrated vegetables is also there, just because the weight is small and the effect is not great. But if it is an oil bag, it contains more than 95% fat, mainly unsaturated fat, which is easy to cause obesity.

Generally speaking, instant noodles can help us replenish energy when we are hungry and restore our physical strength as soon as possible, but the achievements in nutrition are not great, especially not a substitute for normal diet.
