The most common reason you crave ramen noodles is because of the salt in the ramen noodles.

Salt cravings are pretty common and also because of the seasoning and that the ramen noodles taste so good.

Once package of ramen noodles has up to 1,330 milligrams of sodium and salt.

When you find yourself constantly craving fried rice, bread, ramen noodles, noodles, potatoes, pasta, cake or donuts, it can be a sign that your body is exhausted.

Carbohydrates are the body's most important source of fuel, and when we're tired, our body signals that it's time for an energy boost.

The seasoning packets that come with instant noodles also contain MSG.

The MSGs are chemically synthesized and can trigger the pleasure center of the brain, making you want to eat more.

That's why when you eat instant noodles like ramen noodles, you always have endless aftertastes.

However, excessive intake of MSG is harmful to the body.
