Middle-aged people, no matter how hungry, should stay away from these 3 dishes.

Many people worry that the liver and kidneys in middle age will weaken, leading to poor metabolism and excretion, and that eating a lot of instant noodles will increase cholesterol in the body, causing lipid disorders. So what is the reality?

Is eating instant noodles in the morning harmful to health?

Instant noodles have long been a familiar breakfast dish for many people because of their convenience and attractive flavor. However, some people are concerned that this food can be harmful to health due to its high fat, starch and salt content. So what is the truth? Dr. Tu Ngu, General Secretary of the Vietnam Nutrition Association, told the media that instant noodles may not become harmful if used properly.

Instant noodles are actually a popular source of energy. Only when abused or eaten incorrectly can they pose a risk to health.

According to experts, there is no recommendation to limit eating instant noodles in the morning. Instead, you can combine this dish with other foods to create a balanced breakfast. For example, you can prepare instant noodles with minced meat, eggs, shrimp or squid to add protein. In addition, adding vegetables such as green cabbage, spinach, bean sprouts or tomatoes also helps increase vitamins and minerals.

A breakfast with instant noodles like this is considered ideal because of the harmonious combination of starch, protein, and fiber. The amount of fat in instant noodles is also at a moderate level, no need to add more. However, if you only eat instant noodles blanched in boiling water without additional ingredients, you need to ensure that your meals during the day are full of nutrients to avoid imbalance.

Although instant noodles are not “bad”, their use should be regulated. Experts recommend eating them only 2 to 3 times a week, alternating with other breakfast dishes such as rice, pho, vermicelli, sticky rice or bread.

For those who are limiting their intake of fat and salt, you can blanch the instant noodles and then pour out the water, do not use the seasoning packets and oils provided. It is important to eat properly, chew thoroughly, and combine all six nutrient groups to protect long-term health.

How to make a nutritious bowl of beef noodles

On cold winter mornings, there is nothing better than enjoying a bowl of hot, fragrant noodles. With soft, chewy noodles combined with delicious slices of beef and rich broth, this is the perfect choice to start a new day.

To cook a nutritious bowl of noodles, you need to prepare ingredients such as beef, green onions, white radish, along with basic spices.

First, the beef should be soaked in water to remove excess blood and impurities, then marinated with soy sauce for a few hours to absorb the spices. When stewing the beef, you can add scallions, ginger, whole peppercorns and a little pho seasoning to create a unique flavor.

This rich beef broth can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for other breakfasts. When needed, simply reheat and combine with cooked noodles and some ingredients like sliced radish, green onions and a little pepper. The broth not only enhances the flavor but also adds essential nutrients.

The finished bowl of noodles will bring a warm and delicious feeling, especially suitable for cold winter days.

3 foods to limit for breakfast

Breakfast plays an important role in providing energy for the whole day. However, not all foods are suitable to eat at this time. Below are three groups of foods that you should limit or eliminate from your breakfast.

Sugary drinks

Many people find sugary drinks to be a convenient and quick way to get a boost of energy. However, the high sugar content in these drinks is not only addictive but also increases the risk of diabetes. In particular, fruit juices and smoothies - although they may sound healthy - contain significant amounts of fructose, which can lead to fatty liver if consumed in excess. Smoothies with added sugar or milk further reduce the nutritional value and put more pressure on the liver.

Fried food

Fried foods such as donuts, fried chicken or french fries are attractive choices for breakfast. However, they are often high in calories, and if consumed continuously, they can lead to the risk of obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Unhealthy fats in fried foods also increase bad cholesterol, causing serious damage to long-term health.

White bread and pastries

White bread and pastries are popular foods but lack balanced nutrition. These are often made from refined flour and sugar, which when entering the body will be converted into glucose, causing blood sugar to increase rapidly. After a long sleep, the body easily falls into a state of craving and absorbing too much starch will burden the metabolism. To avoid negative effects, you can replace white bread with whole grain bread, combined with green vegetables and eggs to balance nutrition.

In short, choosing the right food and cooking method not only makes breakfast more delicious but also ensures adequate energy and nutrients for a long day. Whether it is the familiar instant noodle dish or any other food, the important thing is still balance and variety in the daily diet.
