According to Madiha Sikander, Arif Malik, Muhammad Sikander Ghayas Khan,

Qurratul-in, and Rabia ghayas khan(June 2017) to cope up with daily hectic routine of mankind,
it is necessary to take food which can provide the required energy in less time with great taste.
Purposive fortification may help instant noodle to carry some nutrition but there is much need to
divert attention to people that there are healthier and natural resources of good and fast food
other than instant noodles. By switching eating habits from staple to fast and ultra-processed
food we are just collecting the new bunch of health and environmental hazards. More scientific
studies should be proceed to find out benefits of healthy eating so that people can be convinced
to stay healthy with good food.

According to Rachael (April 15, 2017) Instant noodles are a popular convenience food
eaten all over the world. Though they're inexpensive and easy to prepare, there is controversy
over whether or not they have adverse health effects. This is because they contain few nutrients
and high amounts of sodium and MSG.

According to Hyun Joon Shin (2016) MD, a clinical cardiology fellow at Baylor
University Medical Center and nutrition epidemiology doctoral student at Harvard School of
Public Health, raises new concerns for women who regularly indulge in instant noodles. Shin’s
research found that eating instant noodles two or more times a week is associated with
cardiometabolic syndrome, which increases the chance of developing heart disease, diabetes, and
other conditions. It is also an added risk for stroke.

According to Erin Cullum 5/29/2018 A study in the Journal of Nutrition links instant
noodle consumption with heart risk, particularly in women. The researchers conducted a study in
South Korea, where consumption of instant noodles is the highest in the world, with more than
10,700 people ranging in age from 19 to 64. The results? "Women who consume instant noodles
frequently were found to be more likely to have metabolic syndrome - the group of risk factors,
including obesity and high blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar, that increase the risk of
heart disease and diabetes."

Local Literature
According to Joyce Gonzales (July 5, 2019) A majority of the population of the world
considers instant noodles a staple food, like the well-loved rice in Asian countries. For many
people out there, preparing these takes less than a minute or two, thus, making it easy for
students, full-time parents and workers to make something that does not require too much effort.
However, what goes unnoticed in eating instant noodles are its life-threatening risks. Even
though there exist common myths like adding vegetables to a cup of instant noodles to enhance
the nutritional value, the problems that these can cause is something that cannot be remedied by
raw foods. That said, here a few reasons why eating instant noodles can be bad for one’s health.

insufficient to quell the hunge of an entire family. But smart parents have devised a way to fill up
everyone’s tummy – more water to make the sou But actually the “instant noodles” craze does
not happen only as a result of poverty. The thing is also as popularly resorted to for convenience.
Students and workers could easily make a full meal with just one pouch. And it is read in a snap.
