A pack of instant noodles, the oil and salt are too high (Food Detective)

Working overtime until late at night is hungry and the refrigerator is empty.
When on the go, a bowl of steaming and fragrant instant noodles is always irresistible
.
However, there are new researches on the hidden health hazards in instant noodles
.
Recently, the George Institute for Global Health in Australia issued a report stating that they collected 765 kinds of instant noodles from 10 countries between 2012 and 2016, and found that China’s instant noodles were the saltiest, with an average of 8.
6 grams of salt.
The recommended amount of daily salt (6 grams) in the Chinese Dietary Guidelines has been adopted
.
It is also worrying that when people eat instant noodles, they often eat all the soup and water, so that a bag of instant noodles will eat about 30 grams of fat.
The Chinese Dietary Guidelines recommend that the cooking oil used per person per day should be controlled at From 25 to 30 grams, it seems that if you eat a pack of instant noodles, your daily consumption of oil and salt will exceed the standard
.
Moreover, research on the health risks of instant noodles has a long history
.
Xia Pengbin, a nutritionist in the Department of Clinical Nutrition at the Zhongda Hospital of Southeast University, pointed out that instant noodles only provide energy, have a high fat content, and have many food additives.
They have problems such as nutrient composition, unreasonable proportions, and inappropriate processing methods.
Long-term consumption will cause problems.
Malnutrition
.
For people with three highs, it may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; for healthy people, instant noodles should only be eaten occasionally when they are "emergency"
.
There are no unhealthy foods, only unhealthy eating methods, so how can the harm of instant noodles be minimized? Xia Pengbin recommends that you try to eat as little instant noodles as possible, and eat at most once a month
.
If you have to eat it, I will teach you a few tricks: First, give priority to instant wet noodles and non-fried instant noodles, which have less acrylamide content and low fat content
.
Secondly, it's best to eat it by cooking.
The cooked noodles absorb water more easily, which is good for gastrointestinal digestion
.
It is best to use warm water to brew, stir, and then change to new water before boiling
.
If it’s instant noodles, it’s best to make the noodles twice and then brew them with hot water.

.
Third, it is best not to put the sauce packs and salt seasoning packs that are used in instant noodles, and to use common household salt to reduce salt intake
.
For instant noodles, it is recommended to use only half or 1/3 of the powder packet, and put as little oil packet as possible
.
Fourth, add an egg and blanch some vegetables
.
This helps to increase the intake of vitamins and makes up for the shortcomings of instant noodles that only provide carbohydrates, low protein content, and almost no vitamins
.
Fifth, don’t drink soup after eating.
Instead, eat fruit or drink a cup of soy milk.
Not only can you reduce salt intake and provide more nutrients, but the fruit is rich in antioxidants, which can reduce the damage of harmful substances to the body.
