Learn why instant noodles are destroying our health. Check out the article we found over at Herbs Info.
Instant “ramen” noodles are a massively popular staple – especially in the collegiate population. While genuine ramen noodles made from flour and without additives are not cause for serious concern, the cheap instant noodles are a total additive-fest. People who live on campus and find it hard to budget their money often end up surviving on instant noodles several days a week. In Asia, the popularity and convenience of instant noodles is even bigger; it’s a quick, cheap, and easy to way to ease your hunger – but how do instant noodles affect your health?
#1: Instant Noodles Are Extremely High In Sodium
Instant noodles are extremely high in sodium – one packet containing 1875mg – more than the entire RDA of 1500mg. Sodium is one of the leading causes of both hypertension (high blood pressure) and kidney dysfunction. How? Sodium causes a build-up of fluid in the body, raising blood pressure which destroys the delicate vessels that supply the kidneys with blood. This is the reason why people with kidney problems are strongly advised to avoid preserved food items and too much salt in their diet.#2: Instant Noodles Are Loaded With MSG
MSG is a specific kind of sodium found in most preserved food items like instant noodles and canned food. MSG intake has been linked to an increased risk for cancer and hypersensitivity reactions like migraines, flushing, and chest pain. While the FDA has officially labeled MSG as generally safe, it remains a highly controversial ingredient. Because of these reports of hypersensitivity and a potential risk for cancer, they require all food items to list MSG as an ingredient if it was used in any way to make the product.#3: Preservatives Affect Mutrition Absorption In The Body
Because instant noodles have extremely high levels of preservatives, they can also affect the way our bodies absorb nutrients. The stomach and intestines are where nutrition absorption takes place and are home to good bacteria that aids in digestion. Preservatives harm these good bacteria, lowering their numbers (and increasing the number of bad bacteria!) and affecting our bodies’ ability to absorb nutrients from food. This can cause problems like nutrient deficiency and long-term absorption problems.
