what is healthier to eat? ramen noddles or pizza?

Answer 1

While it will never be the healthiest meal option, you can make pizza healthier.
We don't typically think of pizza as a component of a healthy diet because it is high in total fat, saturated fat, sodium and calories. This is important to remember when planning family menus because high-fat diets lead to being overweight and obese.



Ramen and similar products are often criticized as being unhealthy or junk food. A single serving of instant noodles is high in carbohydrates but low in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Noodles are typically fried as part of the manufacturing process, resulting in high levels of saturated fat and/or trans fat. Additionally, if served in an instant broth, it typically contains monosodium glutamate (MSG) as well as a high amount of sodium, usually in excess of 60% the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (1,200-1,440 mg). Some brands may have up to over 3,000 mg of sodium in extreme cases.

While many processed convenience foods leave much to be desired nutritionally, the particular concern over ramen is a response to its use as a dietary staple for many Americans. College students in particular consume large amounts of instant noodles; the wide availability, very low cost (often below 25¢), ease and speed of preparation, and portability of the product make it appealing to young adults with little money and/or time to spare. A popular college urban legend states that a student gave himself scurvy by living on nothing but ramen for an entire year.

The most recent controversy concerns dioxin and other hormone-like substances that could theoretically be extracted from the packaging and glues used to pack the instant noodles. As hot water is added, it was reasoned that harmful substances could seep into the soup. After a series of studies were conducted, various organizations requested changes in the packaging.


I love to eat both. Ramen noodles soup with left-overs meat and veggies is very satisfying. But because of the above; it''s not the healthiest of meal. On the other hand ; Pizza is more of a simple carbohydrates.and thus instant sugars aside from being high in fats. But pizza definitely is fattenng. So I'd prefer ramen noodles. I just don't drink much of the liquids. Ramen noodles is the staple foods of most orientals like the Chinese and Japanese and Koreans; but have you encounter as many obese orientals versus Caucasians. .
