First of all, it is stated that instant noodles are not without nutrition, but with incomplete nutrition. All foods are like this. It is impossible to get all the nutrients the human body needs by eating only one kind of food.
Lettuce looks healthy, right? But if you only eat lettuce, you might as well eat instant noodles to live longer. If you only eat one kind of food, there is no better food than instant noodles. When food is scarce in the disaster area, almost all instant noodles are transported. Apart from the reasons for preservation, instant noodles are far superior to apples in nutrition.
Even for children, instant noodles, as an energy food, are essentially the same as rice and noodles. For growing children, it can also be used as one of normal food sources.
2. Is frying unhealthy?
Frying and non-frying are just the process of drying bread. Fried instant noodles are dehydrated by frying, and non-fried instant noodles are dried by hot air and microwave. The loss of nutrients in the drying process of the two methods is similar. First, frying did not lose more nutrients.
First of all, people in China like to eat fried food for a year. In fact, it's not only China people who eat fried fish, Americans eat fried chicken, and the whole world likes fried food. However, edible oil itself contains monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid, linolenic acid and other nutrients.
In other words, if you can't eat instant noodles, you can't even eat fried dumplings, fried dough sticks, spring rolls, jiaozi and hemp balls.
3. Preservatives are unhealthy?
This is the biggest rumor, because compared with other foods, instant noodles don't need preservatives!
Instant noodles mainly include bread, dehydrated vegetables and sauces. Bread is dry and high in oil, vegetables are dry and sauces are high in salt. These characteristics make it naturally not afraid of corruption. Who cares about that? Only some soy sauce, vinegar and cooking oil contain preservatives. However, from the perspective of cost control and taste, it is really unnecessary for instant noodle enterprises to actively add preservatives.
4. Is the instant noodle cup unhealthy?
We should know about paper, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and other materials. Odorless, non-toxic, tasteless and corrosion-resistant, it is a common food packaging material all over the world.
Now all the food you buy in the supermarket is basically packed with these materials. Why are instant noodles unhealthy?
5. Eating too much salt is unhealthy?
The sodium content of instant noodles exceeds the standard. Take a common instant noodle as an example. The sodium content is really high, reaching 2300 mg, which is 2.3 grams.
The Dietary Guidelines for China Residents advocates that the daily salt intake of each person should be less than 6 grams. For patients with mild hypertension, it is recommended to control it at 4 grams. In other words, two packs of instant noodles basically meet the daily sodium intake of ordinary people, but it has exceeded the standard for patients with hypertension.
There is really too much salt in instant noodles, except that the noodles contain sodium, which is mainly in the powder bag. But pay attention to the following fine print and add it according to your personal taste. Don't tell me you always breathe in one breath.
Whether the salt exceeds the standard is mainly controlled by your own hands.
Of course, if you want to be healthier, eat instant noodles, add less salt and add some fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs and milk.
