There is no such thing as junk food, only "junk eating habits". Do you know how to eat these foods in a healthy way? When it comes to instant noodles, everyone says it is junk food and not good for you. But if it's considered junk food, why does the government allow its production? Do you wonder about that? The reason is because of your "junk eating habits". Let's learn together how to eat it healthily!
【Instant Noodles】
Instant noodles, as a convenient type of staple food, have higher fat content compared to regular staple foods like steamed buns and noodles, and less protein. The nutritional value of fried instant noodles is essentially the same as refined white flour mixed with oil, similar to fried dough sticks.
Suggested pairing: Protein, fruits, and vegetables
① Eggs, tofu products, yogurt:
Boiled eggs, omelets; various types of dried tofu are good sources of protein. Drinking a bottle of yogurt after eating instant noodles is also a good choice.
② Vegetables and fruits:
Tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, and other raw vegetables can be added to the noodle soup; or you can eat some fruits after the meal, which can increase the intake of vitamin C and antioxidant components, as well as dietary fiber.
Not recommended pairing: Ham sausage, hot dog
They have a high sodium content. According to a certain program, eating a 105g ham sausage from a certain brand is equivalent to consuming 3g of salt.
Instant noodles themselves already have a high sodium content. If you put all the seasoning packets into a bowl of instant noodles and eat them all, the total sodium intake is equivalent to consuming 8g of salt. Therefore, when eating instant noodles, you can use only half or less of the seasoning packet to reduce the saltiness.
