Miso contains a particular strain of probiotics called “Aspergillus oryzae,” and they're great for your gut. Having a healthy gut is known to be linked to our overall mental and physical wellness. Soy miso is also a good source of fiber and protein, and a great way to increase your overall nourishment.

While instant ramen is not bad for you, it isn't recommended as a single food daily or multiple times per day on its own due to its high-sodium flavoring packet or broth. Adding additional toppings, such as protein and vegetables, to the wheat noodle and broth base can increase its nutrition profile.

Thus, Japanese ramen has high fat, carbohydrate, and sodium content, just like most noodle foods. It poses a major risk of weight gain due to its high-calorie content. However, as long as you are mindful of how many calories you consume each day, you can eat one or two average-sized bowls of each meal.

Bone broths and broth-based soups like chicken noodle soup and ramen will keep you hydrated, plus, they're packed with nutrients, relieve congestion, and taste delicious. Staying hydrated with liquids like water and soup is key to getting better quickly.
