Eating Maggi once a week is okay for your health as long as you're eating other healthier foods.
Maggi Mee is a type of Malaysian Stir Fried Instant Noodles.
Although it is marketed as nutrient-rich and high in proteins, Maggi is not loaded with nutrients and fibee.
In fact, it is high in carbohydrate (refined flour), which is not good for health if consumed regularly.
In moderation, including instant noodles such as Maggi Mee or Ramen or other instant noodles in your diet likely won't come with any negative health effects.
However, they are low in nutrients, so don't use them as a staple in your diet.
What's more, frequent consumption is linked to poor diet quality and an increased risk of metabolic syndrome.
What makes Maggi Mee noodles unhealthy?
Because the Maggi Mee Noodles are instant noodles that are made to bear a longer shelf life, they are highly processed.
They are low on nutritive content; high on fat, calories and sodium; and are laced with artificial colors, preservatives, additives and flavorings.
A person who consumes only three servings of instant noodles daily will become malnourished over time because they do not get the required amount of nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals to support health.
