Is it safe to consume instant noodles like Maggi during pregnancy?
- It is not advisable to consume Maggi regularly.
- But if you really want to, then avoid putting in any extra salt.
- Instant noodles such as Maggi are made up of wheat flour or buckwheat flour.
- Even if the Maggi is healthy, the seasoning packets on the other hand contain preservatives, monosodium glutamate and are not that nutritional.
- Maggi contains high doses of carbohydrates and fat.
- They contain very few vitamins, fiber, and proteins.
- It can cause high blood pressure in pregnant women.
Is it safe to consume pasta during pregnancy?

- Standard factory-made pasta goes through a lot of refining and loses out on all the important vitamins, minerals, and even fibers.
- 100% whole grain pasta help to lower blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
- They contain all the important vitamins and minerals and are also a rich source of fiber.
- They have a grainier and chewier texture which distinguishes them from the standard pasta.
- Some companies make pasta made with superfoods such as flaxseeds and lentils.
- They are a healthier alternative to regular pasta.
Conclusion
Consuming instant noodles like Maggi and pasta is not quite healthy because they don’t contain any health benefits. Unless made with superfoods or fiber-rich flour, it is to be avoided and should only be consumed at a very minimal rate. You can look for brands that use different flours instead of regular flour.
