8Instant noodles
Instant noodles or ramen has a high glycemic load along with unhealthy amounts of salt and saturated fats. These result in metabolic syndrome which is a cluster of health conditions that raises the risk factor for developing cancer.
In a study by Baylor University and Harvard, women who ate instant noodles more than twice a week had a higher chance of developing metabolic syndrome than those who ate it less often or not at all, even if they were lean and physically active.
Alternative: Make a pot of spaghetti at home. Season it with pureed tomatoes, pepper, salt, cold-pressed olive oil, paprika and garlic. Add sliced boiled eggs, mushroom and bits of roasted chicken for a filling, nutritious meal.
