Why does ramen make me thirsty?

Ramen and especially the flavor packet are chock full of sodium which will make you thirsty for hours after consuming as well as increase your blood pressure. As little as one teaspoon of salt has 2350 mg of sodium. Which is more than your daily requirement.

Ramenthirsty. (especially the flavor packet) have a high salt content, which is what makes you thirsty.

Ramen (fresh or instant) by their nature is very very salty. It's made to be salty for both the taste and texture. It's so salty that doctors recommend do not touch the broth if possible or avoid eating it all together.

Because ramen broth has lots of sodium in it. Anything that is very high in salt will make you thirsty.

I usually drink water or another beverage with every meal though...

[Curmudgeon]

It is quite salty, more often than not. That is what does it.

You'd get about as much salt if you ate a cup of the stuff straight out of a shaker.

Ramen is nasty. I don't know how anyone eats it.
