Good day dear fellow mylotters. I am really wondering why kids love to eat noodles. As the two kids here at home (my niece and nephew) do always love to eat this. No matter if they already ate it during breakfast, they will again ask their mom to cook for another one for them to eat it during lunch and dont mind it if they will have it again during dinner time. Thus there are times, I am thinking, what are the contents of the noodles as they really do not care how many times they ate it. No matter if they will eat it 3 times a day.

Yeah, for me, Noodle is really delicious. But I don't frequently eat it. Say, it is just once every 5-7 days . Generally, noodles is healthy, but just be careful with the MSG as addition, especially in instant noodle. Don't serve too much MSG because it may harm our health..

Well, I think it doesn't mean we can't eat any MSG or salt.. :D Just eat a little of them and don't eat them too regularly, I think that would be fine :)

Personally it really depends on what type of noodles as if this is really Good for them. If they are the noodles such as Ramen and such they say these have no real nutrients in them, etc. so that you need to be able to add things like vegetables and your own meats, etc. with them as well. But at least they are wanting to eat.

I do eat noodles some times. Different noodles have slightly different tastes, such as Chinese noodles, Japanese noodles, Thai noodles, and so on. May be your niece and nephew likes the taste of the special noodles they have been having.

Noodle Soup - Instant or not instant?
You are right, kids just do love noodles and instant noodles in most cases which I think is not healthy. Anything instant no matter what they say is unhealthy, that is what I believe. So as for me I do cook noodles not the instant one to satisfy my kids craving. I always add vegetables to make it really healthy. I believe, it is always healthy to cook things the normal and natural way.

Hi Airasheila, I love to eat noodle too. I think noodle can absorb the taste of the soup better, and become tastier than rice. Maybe noodle is easier to eat and digest too. I think when those kids reach puberty, they need to eat a few bowls of noodle to get full. Most of us eat noodle because we do not want too many calories into our daily life. Rice contains a higher calorie content, and does not make us feel full immediately. I think if those kids love instant noodle, and the seasoning of the instant noodle, then you should start worrying about it. The seasoning in the instant noodle is very bad for health. There are instances where people survive on instant noodle for all the three meals, and they die.

good day to you, dear. Noodles are a change from the ordianry food, so kids love it. If you feel that they are not eating their vgetables, make noodles dish along with vegetables like tomato, beans, carrot, beetroot etc; Then it will be haelthy also. You can also make vermicelli dishes too. we make payasam or kheer with vermicelli also besides making upma with it.

In my family everybody like noodle. - My son love it too.
My son and my husband used o eat a lot of noodles but when we realize the high content of sodium we stop eating they stop eating that as musch, they could four noodle each one a day but now eventhought they like it a lot they don't eat it as much. Considerations The sodium content in Maruchan Instant Lunch is high -- 1,200 to 1,330mg. At most, your meal plan for the day should contain 1,500mg. Regularly consuming too much sodium may result in elevated blood pressure and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention theorizes that decreasing daily salt intake could prevent thousands of deaths from heart attacks and stroke each year. So you are eating with only one noodle what you are supposed to have in a day of sodium.

yes its really delicious. but to eat noodle 3 times a day is so wrong, remember the noodles that your kids eat is WAX, its not good if you eat everyday. they may get UTI. having a UTI is not good. if you have it you are limit to eat noodles, to drink soda's, eat salty foods or junk foods. the noodles, sodas, snacks is so delicious but remember to eat moderately everything you intake in your body too much may cause harm. hope it helps.
