I do not know if you will agree with the above equation but health experts from my country have declared that a combination of instant noodles with ham sausages is a catalyst to high blood pressure and loss of calcium. Basically, the combination is said to be too salty for our health concern. It is said that the ideal average salt daily intake for a person is 6g and the 1 meal combination already reach well above the salt intake for the day. In addition, combination with salted eggs, preserved or pickled vegetables or meats are also a no no, as far as health is concern. Experts further clarify the argument that excess salts could be filtered and passed out of our system by stating that it is a known fact that during the filtration process calcium from our system are being removed as well. Health Tips: 1. Try not to drink the soup but if you like to then add half the amount of the soup base. 2. Ideal additional ingredients: fresh egg (cook w. noodle)/ fresh vegetables. Looks like for the sake of health, I've got to change the family's way of eating instant noodles with ham sausages which is our favorite. Ref: http://news.cntv.cn/china/20120905/106609.shtml

I use the noodles but never the flavor packet, that's where all the salt is. Ham or any processed meat should be eaten only once in a while. If you can keep your salt intake down it will help your body. Blessings

Agreed! Also in my country the flavor packet also contains some dangerous alchemy stuff that brings cancer. Not good, at all. I'll rep you positive ;)

As for the flavor packet, I think we can half the amount when we have no alternatives like when we are at home. In my country, instant noodles are very popular where quite a lot of the working population takes it as a meal during lunch.

Instant noodles like ramen noodles, etc. Is bad for you,as they are loaded with sodium, etc and been known to cause many health problems for sure. The only problem is because of the cost many times this is what people end up having to resort too in order to make ends meet, and it is really sad. But it is true that if you are adding stuff like vegetables etc, it can help eliminate some of the bad things in them by adding good things in them that are good for you.
