Question

Why are drinks with electrolytes considered healthy while foods rich in sodium (instant noodles) considered unhealthy?

In: Chemistry

Answer 1

Electrolyte drinks aren’t inherently healthy and instant noodles aren’t inherently unhealthy.

Whether or not a food is healthy depends on how much of it you consume, when you consume it, your lifestyle, your age etc.
