I. INTRODUCTION

Phospha e, a popula addi ion used o imp o e la o o

noodles con ain indus ial chemicals and hyd ogena ed a s,

Noodles, especially ins an o p ocessed ones, con ain high

As shown in able (1) and igu e (1).
These indings sugges ha egula ins an noodle ea ing is
linked o dec eased magnesium le els. Since magnesium is
essen ial o he unc ion o muscles and ne es, a lack may
ha e nega i e heal h e ec s. People who ea quick noodles
may ha e lowe le els because hey don' ea oods high in
magnesium, such as lea y g eens, nu s, and seeds. Acco ding
o he indings, ea ing a balanced die is c ucial o ensu ing
ha you ge enough magnesium and a oid any de ici s. Bone
heal h, blood suga egula ion, and neu on and muscle
unc ion all depend on magnesium. One possible cause o low
magnesium le els is he lack o i ems high in magnesium in
an ins an noodle die . Symp oms, including headaches,
exhaus ion, and c amping in he muscles, a e associa ed wi h
magnesium insu iciency. P ese a i es in ins an noodles,
such as TBHQ, may in e e e wi h magnesium abso p ion.
Acco ding (Picke ing e al., 2020), a die lacking esh
ege ables and whole g ains leads o a 30% dec ease in se um
magnesium le els. As shown in able (2) and igu e (1).
This di e ence ein o ces he conce n ha high sodium

po assium exc e ion, he eby educing i s se um

and muscle unc ion, i s de iciency may ha e se ious
implica ions. The indings suppo exis ing li e a u e
sugges ing ha excessi e sodium in ake, common in ins an
noodles, dis up s elec oly e balance and can lead o a
