"This is What Happens If You Eat Instant Noodles During Sahur, It's Better to Avoid"

Dream - The consumption of instant noodles among the Indonesian people has reached a significant level, especially during sahur (pre-dawn meal) in the month of Ramadan. The main reason behind its popularity is the convenience in preparing this snack, making it a choice for many people. However, there are several consequences that need to be considered regarding the consumption of instant noodles, especially during fasting. Nutrition experts highlight that instant noodles are made from flour, which allows for faster digestion. This can lead to feeling hungry more quickly after consuming them. The body's energy becomes unstable and even lost during fasting.

Not only that, preservatives commonly used in instant noodles are also a significant concern for health. The use of these preservatives has a negative impact on the body's health if consumed excessively or over a long period of time. Moreover, preserved foods like instant noodles contain low nutrition. It is best to avoid eating fiber-less foods during suhoor, such as instant noodles. The body will easily feel hungry and weak if you consume instant noodles during suhoor.

You can eat instant noodles during Sahur, as long as...

When the situation is urgent, it doesn't matter if you choose to consume instant noodles during suhoor. However, it is important to add other ingredients, such as vegetables and meat, to enhance its nutritional value. According to nutrition expert Patrick Holfond, it is recommended to balance instant noodles with an equal amount of vegetables. You can choose vegetables such as spinach, mustard greens, water spinach, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, and so on. By adding vegetables, you will get iron, vitamins, antioxidants, and other important minerals that will help maintain your fitness during fasting. In addition, vegetables will also help maintain your health by fighting free radicals, ensuring the production of red blood cells remains normal, and maintaining digestive system health.

Increase Vegetables

"If you feel that it is still not enough, you can add chicken meat, beef, fish, or eggs to the instant noodles to ensure that your intake of fat and protein is sufficient. However, Holfond recommends prioritizing the consumption of vegetables first because it is easier and more beneficial for health."

Avoid eating noodles with rice too often.

Some of us may feel that we have not fully eaten if we have not eaten rice. Sometimes, people even mix rice with instant noodles to create a delicious dish. Indeed, it tastes good. However, do we know that combining these two high-carbohydrate and high-calorie sources is actually not very good for health, especially if done regularly and repeatedly.

"High Calorie"

In some instant noodle packaging, there are those that contain around 310 calories, equivalent to one serving of medium-sized rice with its accompanying side dishes. However, there are also instant noodles that have lower calorie content than that. If we consume one serving of high-calorie instant noodles along with one serving of rice, the total calorie intake in the body can reach 600-700 calories. Although the average daily calorie requirement for humans is around 2000 calories, if this eating pattern occurs too frequently, it can cause the body to become overweight.

The delicious taste and chewy texture often make many people like instant noodles. However, it may be better to not consume them too often starting from now. It is important to check whether the noodles comply with the SNI standards or not. In addition, we can also replace the "companion" of instant noodles with other sources of protein, fiber, and vitamins such as vegetables, eggs, or meat.

"High Salt"

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The high salt and MSG content in instant noodles can have negative effects on the body's health. If we still want to consume instant noodles, it is better to limit the frequency to only once or twice a week, or combine them with vegetables to provide additional nutrition. Some researchers in the United States have also conducted studies on the negative effects on health if we consume instant noodles too frequently, approximately 3 to 4 times a week."

Quoted from Daily Mail, frequent consumption can increase the risk of cardiometabolic syndrome. Besides preservatives, instant noodles contain a chemical element called bisphenol A. That element disrupts hormone function. Therefore, he urges not to consume instant noodles too often.
