Instant Noodles, Are they safe to eat everyday?

Hi, in2good4u! Well, you would not be good for anyone if you eat instant noodles everyday. They are so temptingly convenient - and cheap - that it is easy to get careless. There are many kinds of noodles, but let's talk about the "instant" kinds. Yes, they are dangerous, because they have to be processed in such a way that it can be preserved on the shelves, but takes no time to transform into an instant meal. Do you notice that they have this waxy coat? That's precisely what gives it longer shelf life and short preparation time (just add hot water!) Somebody sent a warning around, saying that this waxy coat is a synthetic compound that cannot be synthesized by our body during the breakdown of food. Thus, it is waste. However, it cannot be flushed out of our body with the normal cleaning up process, but stays for four days, polluting our bodies, and doing God knows what else within our systems. Som imagine eating instant noodles everyday, and accumulating this waste! Of course, we have not even considered yet what others have already mentioned: preservatives, MSG, salt, saturated fats, etc.

My wife and her family eat these all the time. She is from the Philippines and so she sends a lot of these to the Philippines in boxes..her brother mixes boulion cubes (beef) with them.. i avoid most times eating these noodles as I like potato's and not rice either..only rice desert or fried rice mixed with a lot of veggies and meat..not plain white rice..i guess i was raised that way i don't think you should worry about these tasty noodles...just make sure you take a good BM..and eat a lot of fiber..drink laods of water too..it helps..

Processed foods in general aren't very healthy. If they're the lower fat type, it's probably okay to eat them as long as you balance them out with fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains the rest of the day.

I don't think it is the fact that they are "instant" tha make them bad for you; it is that they tend to be high in salt and don't contain a lot of nutrients. I think if you have an overall balanced diet that includes the noodles (and don't have high blood pressure)they are not going to cause you much harm in the short term. You should check out the ingredients of your particular brand to be more sure.

Yes, recently I've herad a story about a person who had his stomach inside covered with some liquid. He had a very hard operation and finaLLy get well now. The reason that can happened to him, is because he always eat instant noodle everyday, he always busy working and he doesn't have much time for lunch, so he just put some stocks of instant noodle in his office and eat it everyday. Hope this can help you to know the danger of eating instant noodle everyday.

I really am not sure but I think anything that is too much is no good. I too can eat up to 4-5 meals a week of instant noodles. My korean friends are always eating instant noodles and they seem to eat it like everyday. Apart from the styrofoam coating and all those chemicals, I think by adding some vegetables and meat into the instant noodles will help to inject some vitamins into your body to make it slightly healthier.

i don't eat instant noodles everyday . . . . the way it was pack & the preparation concern makes it unhealthy . you'll be cooking it thru microwave in a plastic container which i'm not really comfortable or assured 100% that microwaveable plastics are absolutely healthy !

They're high in salt, high fat, highly processed, and low in nutrients. maybe mix it up and eat some rice every now and then? Also, make sure you are eating lots of vegetables to round out your diet.

Well, if you think that you eat that once a day , I think you better make it like once in three days or once a week. It's high in sodium, high in saturated fat, high in calorie and the preservatives.I think it's better ( for the health sake) you consume less.

i love to eat noodles will eat weekly thrice.... i donno its good ro bad but i love it.............

It's ok to eat noodles, but don't make it everyday..if you do you have to drink a lot of water..

Personally, I don't eat instant noddles more that 3 times a week... I was warned by my mom not to get too indulged with these easy to cook and instant noodles coz they have lots of preservatives which can harm your health in a way or two..and they also lack the proper nutrients..so i guess my mom was saying the right thing, so i just followed her..not going beyond 3 instant noodles a week. there are even times that i don't eat instant noodles in a week at all... :)

no not really, they have really high sodium. but as long as ur getting what u need everyday like all ur vitamins, water and not too many sweets it should fit well with ur daily diet. be careful, ive had to eat these like everyday before, but its not my choice of food.

It wont good for you to have daily. You can have twicw or thrice in a week that too with noodles with either egg, veg or chicken. Better cook and eat in your house itself, that wont cause anything. If you buy from shop they may use used oil to cook, that wont good to your health...

yes that's true. instant noodles contains lots of artificial ingredients like MSG, preservatives and is high in sodium and fat but low in nutrients that is needed by our body. and anything that is consumed too much is bad, more so of an unhealthy food.. aight?

Yeah it is bad for your health. Because in instant noodles, they have many chemicals in it, and also heavy colouring on it. And you know how when you cook it or put water on it, the food sort of inflate a little bit? Well that is also the part where it is not good for your health. I know that instant noodle is very yummy hehehe and cheap as well, because I like it too, but nowadays I limit it to only once in a while. There are so many cases already that are caused by eating too much instant noodles. You can also get stomach problems from it. So my suggestion, dont eat too much of it, maybe once a week or something. After all there is no nutrition or vitamin in it, while our body needs vitamin and nutrition to live healthily. :)

I think instant noodles eating everyday is not good.once in a time we can eat. Its good to take when you re preparing them on your own,that is buy a plain noodles and prepare on your own don't mix the masala's given in the packs.These masala's only is not good for health.
