Hello,

I agree with you that instant noodles are very tasty and are very popular with kids. But let me tell you that instant noodles do not contain much nourishment, instead, they contain some harmful chemicals which can interfere with your child’s physical and mental development.

Instant noodles contain trans fat and are coated with wax which can be very harmful.

There are other chemicals which are in instant noodles such as propylene glycol, MSG, etc which are also harmful.

It will be difficult but try to switch your kid to other healthy foods such as fresh fruits, oats etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
