Do not eat instant noodles as regular main meals
Instant noodles are processed foods, high in salt, high in oil, low in protein and fiber. Eating them regularly can lead to nutritional imbalance, increased pressure on the kidneys and the risk of high blood pressure.
You should only eat noodles a maximum of 1-2 times/week, not considered as a main meal every day.
Do not eat with processed meats
Instant noodles are often eaten with spring rolls, sausages, meatballs... These types contain a lot of sodium and phosphorus, which can make kidney function worse and contribute to calcification of blood vessels.
Do not eat noodles with sugary drinks
Milk tea, carbonated soft drinks or energy drinks make blood sugar fluctuate strongly, increasing the risk of insulin resistance and causing metabolic pressure on the liver and kidneys.
We should drink filtered water or sugar-free tea when eating noodles.
Add vegetables
Vegetable deficiency causes meals to lack potassium and fiber - important factors that help stabilize blood pressure and reduce the burden on the kidneys. Abandoning vegetables completely will increase the risk of kidney damage.
Therefore, when eating noodles, we should add green vegetables. If there are no vegetables, we can replace them with fruits such as apples and guavas.
Do not eat two packs of noodles at once
One pack is not enough, so make a second pack - this means doubling sodium and calories, making the risk of obesity and high blood pressure higher.
You should only eat one package, combine it with tofu, eggs, and green vegetables to have enough nutrients and be full for longer.
Not eating expired noodles
Expired noodles are not only prone to infection, but can also potentially cause acute kidney damage. Check the expiration date, stop eating if the packaging shows signs of abnormality.
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
