Brilio.net - Instant noodles are one of the foods that many people consume at certain times. For example, they don't want to bother processing food because they don't have much time. However, there are also quite a few who deliberately process instant noodles according to their taste because they really like this instant food.
The deliciousness of instant noodles has certainly been recognized by all groups, from children, teenagers, adults, to pregnant women who consume instant noodles.
But unfortunately, there is often an assumption that the nutritional content of instant noodles tends to be less good for pregnant women and fetuses. Not without reason, pregnant women must always pay attention to the food that enters their bodies. This is because the food intake is not only given to themselves, but also to the fetus they are carrying. Therefore, the food consumed must be given more attention.
Basically, instant noodles have a main component, namely wheat flour. However, as reported by who.int, all instant noodle products are made with additional nutrients, such as vitamin A, vitamin B, folic acid, iron, and zinc. But on the other hand, instant noodles also contain preservatives, colorings, and additional flavors.
With these contents, many people question the safety of consuming instant noodles, especially for pregnant women. An obstetrician named Arman Djajakuslie once explained this further. Through the TikTok account @drarmanspog, Doctor Arman revealed that pregnant women are still safe to consume instant noodles.

As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @drarmanspog on Monday (19/8), the thing that needs to be emphasized when consuming food is to pay attention to the level of ripeness. Pregnant women need to consume food that is completely cooked, not raw food. This is to avoid viruses, bacteria, or even parasites contained in raw food.
"For pregnant women, if they want to eat, there is only one requirement. It is cooked. Second, food that is grilled or grilled, such as satay or grilled chicken, is allowed. The important thing is that it is cooked. Some people ask, what happens if it burns? Yes, don't let it burn, if it burns it won't taste good," said Doctor Arman.

In addition, the limit of consuming instant noodles also needs to be considered. Both pregnant women and adults in general are not recommended to consume too much instant noodles, especially if it is done every day. This can certainly affect the intake of nutrition and nutrients that enter the body and fetus.
"But the point is, everything has its quantity. The more we think this food is delicious, think about it, is it healthy? If it's not healthy, it's okay, but we limit the quantity," he explained further.
According to Doctor Arman, this rule does not only apply to instant noodles. But other foods such as chicken noodles, fried foods, coffee and durian also apply. Consuming them with certain limits can be a good step.
