“The problems that most often arise [as a result of frequently eating instant noodles] include high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, digestive disorders, and kidney function disorders,” said internal medicine specialist Aru Ariadno, as reported by

.
This bad effect is caused by the sodium, saturated fat and calorie content in instant noodles which tends to be high.
How long do instant noodles last in the stomach?
Instant noodles themselves take longer to break down in the stomach or digestive system than other types of noodles.
Instant noodles can last around 3-5 hours in the stomach before being processed to the next stage.In some people, this process can take 1-2 days before it completely leaves the body.
According to Aru, this long process was triggered by several factors.For example, the frying process makes instant noodles high in fat.High saturated fat content can slow down the movement of food in the stomach.
Not only that, the preservatives found in many instant noodles also take longer to digest.Preservatives make instant noodles harder and not easy to break down.
The opposite applies to fresh noodles or noodles made without preservatives.Noodles will usually crumble more easily and be digested quickly.
Apart from that, the low fiber in instant noodles can also slow down intestinal function.This means that food will last longer in the digestive tract.
