Research in the field of health or medical
science continues to evolve. This is reasonable because today more and more
types of diseases that do not know where it comes from. Where once we felt safe
eating certain foods, but due to the development of medical technology, now
these foods can lead to various diseases especially if consumed in excess.
Recently, there is a recent study from
Baylor University Medical Center, published in the Journal of Nutrition says
that if we consume instant noodles can increase a person's risk of
cardiometabolic syndrome, especially in women.
Hyun Joon Shin, MD, who led the study
Hearth and Vascular Hospital Baylor (BHVH) found, eating instant noodles twice
or more a week associated with cardiometabolic syndrome. This syndrome can
increase a person's risk of developing heart disease and other conditions such
as diabetes and stroke.
Dr. Shin also found that the risk is more
common in women. This is possible due to biological differences such as sex
hormones and metabolism, and obesity and metabolic syndrome components. As well
as due to differences in food consumption habits that vary in men and women.
Regardless of the findings related to
gender or the cause, Dr Shin said, that the study is important because many
people who consume instant noodles without knowing the possible health risks.
People in Asia are known to have ramen
consumption levels are relatively high. Therefore, this study focused on the
region of South Korea which has the highest number of consumers of instant
noodles in the world.
