What is MSG in Maggi?


In past one month or so there has been a lot of shouting on Maggi noodles and everyone is pointing towards the ill effects caused by the component of Maggi i.e.MSG and Lead.

MSG, or Mono sodium Glutamate is a salt of the amino acid - Glutamate Acid (glutamate).  A salt is the chemical name for a molecule held together by opposite charges.   Basically one (mono) sodium atom is "stuck" to the amino acid glutamate.


What MSG does?

MSG in edible food stuff available in market is a agent which tricks our tongue by giving a signal to the brain that the food that you just put in your mouth is high in protein and is good in taste.

Because of it the food processor companies to not have to add much protein in their product which in turn increases their profit.

for example: if we add more MSG in a chicken soup then the company has to add less chicken in it which will create a negative effect on our health but will increase the profit of the companies as the production cost will be less due less chicken.

MSG is generated by different parts of our body i.e. by Brain,ears, eyes, nervous system and pancreas in our body use to initiate certain processes in your body.

However adding this Artificial MSG in body from different sources will create negative impact on human health.

MSG stimulates our pancreas to produce insulin.Insulin act on the carbohydrates present in food but if you notice these Processed food item in market are low in carbohydrates  so what happens is again increases the profit of companies i.e. at 1:30 pm you ate Maggi(with high MSG). insulin generated by pancreas to act on carbohydrate but due to less carbohydrate and protein there is a insulin flood which decreases your blood sugar level and you are hungry again at 2:30pm.

so if you are supposed to eat one Maggi in a day then you will eat three-four maggi in a day.which is again a profit statement for the company.

खुश, स्वस्थ बच्चों का पालन-पोषण कैसे करें: सरल आदतें जो आपके बच्चे के जीवन भर के कल्याण को आकार

देंगीश्रेय: वामन सेठी जब एक स्वस्थ बच्चे के पालन-पोषण की बात आती है, तो माता-पिता पर सबसे अधिक प्रभाव पड़ता है। बच्चे अक्सर अपने आस-पास के वयस्कों को देखकर सीखते हैं, इसलिए यदि माता-पिता स्वस्थ आदतें अपनाते हैं, तो बच्चे भी उनका अनुसरण करने की अधिक संभावना रखते हैं। इसमें संतुलित भोजन करना, सक्रिय रहना, तनाव का प्रबंधन करना और अच्छी स्वच्छता बनाए रखना जैसी चीजें शामिल हैं। कम उम्र में बच्चे जो आदतें बनाते हैं, वे वयस्क होने पर उनके स्वास्थ्य और कल्याण की नींव तैयार करने में मदद करती हैं। डॉ. श्रेया दुबे, कंसल्टेंट- पीडियाट्रिक्स एंड नियोनेटोलॉग, कहती हैं कि बच्चों को सिर्फ यह बताना ही काफी नहीं है कि उन्हें क्या करना चाहिए, उन्हें कार्यों के माध्यम से दिखाने से बहुत फर्क पड़ता है। "बच्चे आप जो कहते हैं उससे अधिक आप जो करते हैं उससे सीखते हैं। स्वस्थ आदतों को प्रोत्साहित करने का सबसे अच्छा तरीका उन्हें स्वयं अपनाना है। पोषण और स्वच्छता से लेकर भावनात्मक कल्याण और शारीरिक गतिविधि तक," बच्चे जो देखते हैं उसका अनुकरण करते हैं: बच्चे केवल आप जो कहते हैं उसे नहीं सुनते; वे देखते ह...
