Is it bad to eat Ramen noodles often?

[Anonymous]

I'm not too much of a cook expert (I fried some stuff and bake rice) and the only soup I can make is Ramen noodle soup.

Eh, they are pretty high in sodium... bad for blood pressure. Plus not a good source of protein, or other vitamins. I doubt it would kill you (maybe some constipation), but I would try not to eat too much of one thing. Especially something that is essentially flavored water with carbs. Maybe try that for just one meal a day and learn some other recipes.!

It depends on what else you're eating, but IIRC ramen is high in fat and sodium, and of course being noodles they're basically pure carbs. I can't see how eating them more than once or twice a week could possibly be anything but bad for you.

Thanks. Yeah that's the only soup I can make.

You can't make soup out of a can?

Making chicken or turkey soup is really pretty easy. And it's a good way to use leftovers after you cook a turkey or chicken. Even the noodles are easy to make (Yes, I make my own noodles). Beef stew is pretty easy too, especially if you have a crock pot.

[Asker]

Thanks... I'll try that next time.

Ramen noodles are reported to be coated in wax and to be harder on your body than McDonald's. You cannot digest them properly, and it wreaks havoc on your digestive system. They're also outrageously high in sodium.

Soooo true! One time I was lying in bed after I ate it and whenbI got up, I couldn't breathe it was scary af. But hey it tastes amazing lol

[Cmasterson]

Hmm i mean its not exactly the healthiest thing to eat, try looking for alternatives even make your own ramen.

It's not good to have the same kind of diet, you need variety, but the negative effects take time to appear.
It also depends on how often you eat them. I eat Ramen noodles pretty often cause they're cheap, but I don't eat them every day of the week.

If you use the entire seasoning packet, yes that's bad.

You should also learn to cook rice (follow the package, it's rather easy), as well as potatoes (boil water, put potatoes in water, boil for 20mins or longer until desired softness). Your carb sources should be balanced.

Make sure to put vegetables into your Ramen in the meantime.

... and don't use the entire seasoning packet. Use a third of the packet. Noodles still taste good and less salt!

I'm currently eating this every day for lunch. I have other things in my fridge, it is just because I love them, and I need the extra salt as well.

[Mario21]

It's delish 🙌 I like to put lemon in it 😋 and hot sauce lol what do u expect from a mecican? XD

[Mario21]

*Mexican wtf

[helloitsmethere]

@Mario21 lol hot sauce? Next time I'm gonna try that.

[Mario21]

Too much instant noodles can and will kill you.
I did a grade 8 project on just noodles.

[karahiri]

Yes. Very high in salt.

[Mario21]

No but I don't blame u lol 😋

[SlightlyCrazy]

That's a lot of sodium
That's a bad idea

[babeeeone]

I would think so, they're full of salt.
