Instant noodles and ultraprocessed foods, like sugary snacks and readymade meals, are quick and cheap but come with serious health risks. Eating these foods too often can lead to obesity, diabetes, and heart problems due to their high levels of salt, sugar, and artificial ingredients. In countries like South Africa, the obesity crisis is growing, affecting many people, including children. Experts suggest that better food regulations, public awareness, and healthier eating habits can help fight against these harmful foods, creating a healthier future for everyone.
