Yet, you just know it is bad for you, because of its high sodium content. Why not just cut to the chase and pour a salt shaker down your throat?
I can't just turn my back on this snack even though it has 860 mg. of sodium. What it has in sodium, it lacks in other nutritionally bad qualities. It isn't particularly high in sugar or fat. So the only thing I have to worry about is stroking out at a young age! If I eat this snack sparingly, I suppose it wouldn't be as threatening. So once in a while, I know I can take a bag of Ramen Noodles for my lunch breaks at Walmart.

However, I recently discovered that there are worse foods with higher sodium content than my Ramen Noodles. Today, I was contemplating what to take to work for lunch today, when I discovered a small box of Simply Asia Soup.
This soup shares many of the same characteristics as the popular Ramen, however it has an Asian blend of seasoning and a sweet and sour tang. Simply Asia has 1260 mg. of sodium! This was a definite shock to me since I always considered Asian food to be on the healthier side.
I was going to take it for lunch, but when I saw that 1260 mg. of sodium there was no way I could consume this without some kind of negative after effect. That being said, I am not saying that a person shouldn't eat this product, but due to my family's history of high blood pressure, it is not a good idea for my lunch plans.
No matter what you eat, always check the nutrition facts on the back of the packaging. It could save you from a future of high blood pressure! Also, remember to eat Ramen Noodles responsibly!
