EFFECTS OF INSTANT NOODLES

     

                                     


    Today’s world condition is becoming fast and super easy. Everyone is catching up their time and instantly choosing whatever that saves their time, for example, an instant drink from a vending machine and instant foods. Back then, we choose and we had time to sit and eat without family but we barely do it now. Some people eat while they are walking to the office and students who are rushing to their classes and this is where instant noodles play its role. Instant noodles are people’s number one choice because they are easily found and quickly made in two minutes but none of us realize the side effects we and our generation might have in the future. So here I am to explain more about the effects of eating instant noodles.

     As we know, instant noodles are one of the kid’s favourite and food and also our rescue meal plan when there is nothing available for us to cook. It is also our student’s favorite food. Students tend to get hungry all the time and the easiest way to prepare food are instant noodles. Moreover, some hostels do not allow the students to cook fresh foods and that is the main reason why students choose to eat instant noodles. For your information, countries like China, Japan, and Indonesia are the highest consumers of instant noodles in the world, according to an estimated published by Worlds Instant Noodles Association. Malaysia is also at the top of twelve Asian countries consuming instant noodles.

The first effect of eating instant noodles is disturbing digestion. Digestion time varies between individuals. After we eat, approximately it takes around 7-8 hours for food to digest however after consuming instant noodles it takes around 32 hours to digest. As per a study conducted by Dr.Braden Kuo, Gastroenterologists, using pill cameras in subjects who were asked to consume instant noodles. As per Dr.Kuo, at 2 to 4 hours, the particular size of the ramen noodles was much larger and noodles were difficult to break down during the process of digestion. Therefore, good digestion requires the help of many nutrients and minerals. 

The second effect of eating instant noodles are kidney failure and liver damage. Instant noodles consist of a hazardous substance such as propylene glycol that destroys and disturbs the work of the liver. I would like to share my experience where I had lost one of my beloved uncles. He is a frequent consumer of instant noodles and I would say that he had tried all kind of instant noodle flavour. Since he is living alone he hardly has time to prepare food for him so he chooses foods that are easily made. Last month for two weeks he was admitted in the hospital and the doctor said he liver is damaged. Since my uncle is not an alcoholic everyone was surprised but later on, the doctor found out that one of the reason is because of instant noodles. He had passed away and that is why I choose to create awareness to all my friends around me.

Moving on, the third effect of eating instant noodles causes cancer. Surgical and Gastroenterologists RS Shanker Dharmais and Dr.Fajar Firsyada said that they saw four liver cancer case in a 13-year-old student. “In the past two years, the patient refuses to eat anything other than instant noodles. The patient had no record of cancer in his family” said the doctor at the Cancer Information Centre. 

The fourth effect of eating instant noodles are disturbing hormones for woman and men. For example, studies show that woman who regularly consumes instant noodles are obese but this does not work with males. Other than that,woman more likely to have acne and skipped menstrual time. Another effect is where instant noodles lead to miscarriage for a pregnant woman. Next, disturbing sex hormones for men. For men, the negative effects of instant noodles disrupt male hormones in sex where they cannot control their sex drive.

                       


Instant noodles are the main food everyone should avoid and stop consuming in life. We tend to choose and get everything easy but eventually we do not realize that we are destroying our lives. People in this busy life are so concern in how to survive but no one cares that you can only survive if you are healthy. You may think that I am also consuming instant noodles, glad that I have stopped consuming them when I was 16 years old. Students and youngsters these days are easily exposed to instant noodles such as ramen, indomee and also easily fooled by the trend of extra spicy challenge and more. Things like this should be stopped. Our great grandparents lived long because the do not consume foods that contain chemicals. Love and appreciate your body since you only have one life to live. DO NOT LET INSTANT NOODLES TO KILL YOU! Thank you.
