Health is Wealth- Instant Noodles Vs Homemade Noodles

Dear Friends
Happy Evening
Today’s alarming news item in TOI is” Instant Noodles Diet
harming Asian Children”
I am sharing some facts about Instant Noodles.
All modern housewives prefer instant noodles because it is easy to cook.
But they forget it is a processed food.
While processing salts, preservatives, chemicals and oil are added.
The oil added is palm oil which has carcinogens.
In addition to salt the packs contain MSG or Monosodium Glutamate
Which causes weight gain
Salt acts as a preservative and increases shelf life of the food.
It causes high BP which results in heart diseases.
The other chemicals used processing the noodles are Butylated
hydroxyanisole (BHA) and t-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ)
These chemicals are carcinogenic. They cause asthma, anxiety and diarrhea.
Dr. Braden Kuo, Gastroenterologist, Massachusetts General Hospital,
says homemade fresh noodles are digested in 1-2 hours.
The instant noodles does not digest in the stomach even hours after consumption.
The chemicals added while processing noodles are found to slow down digestion.
Dear friends, use homemade noodles with vegetable toppings serve
your family members.
Never forget the fact that what is easy is always expensive.
When food is concerned freshly cooked food is much safer and healthier.
Do not forget Health is Wealth.
