Beef noodle soup is delicious and good for your health, but when eating it, you must remember this.

Pho is a familiar breakfast dish of Vietnamese people. There are many different types of beef pho such as rare beef pho, well-done beef pho, beef stew pho, rare rolled beef pho, and flank pho.

Do not eat pho for a long time.

How you eat beef pho depends on your personal preferences, but each type of pho will provide different amounts of calories. Although pho is delicious and has many benefits, experts recommend that you absolutely should not eat pho every day.

VnExpress newspaper quoted Dr. Nguyen Trong Hung, Head of the Department of Adult Nutrition Consultation - National Institute of Nutrition, saying that beef pho has a fairly balanced amount of starch and protein, and a significant amount of fat in the broth. The energy of a bowl of pho is equal to the amount of rice in a main meal.

A bowl of beef pho, estimated ingredients are about 140g of pho noodles, 100g of beef, add some green onions, onions, fat and 350ml of broth, providing 350-400 kcal, along with protein, fiber, sugar, salt. The amount of fiber is much less than other groups (only 0.4g), while the amount of salt accounts for 3.8g.

If you eat pho regularly, you will lack the necessary amount of fiber. As a result, your body will not receive enough vitamins and minerals. Lack of fiber affects the digestive system, causing constipation.

Regarding salt intake, according to the World Health Organization's recommendations, each person should only add 5 grams of salt per day. Therefore, if you eat a bowl of pho along with other meals during the day, your body will have excess salt. Many studies have shown that eating salty foods causes dangerous diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, kidney stones, osteoporosis, and asthma.

Doctor Hung advises you not to eat pho for a long time because it will lead to nutritional imbalance, but you should change the dish. No matter what food, eating too much is not good.

Knowledge & Life page quoted Dr. Tu Ngu (Vietnam Nutrition Association) adding that each type of pho will provide different amount of calories. Meanwhile, if the number of calories input is not controlled, it will cause excess calories, making it easy to gain weight. People with metabolic problems need to choose the right type of beef pho to eat.

According to Dr. Ngu, a bowl of rare beef pho has the lowest amount of calories, while beef brisket pho or flank pho has a very high amount of calories. Many people often like to eat beef brisket pho or flank pho because the meat is soft, fatty and crispy. Dr. Ngu advises that if anyone has this habit, they should change and avoid eating it continuously, especially those with high blood fat and metabolic disorders should not eat it.

*Pho is a favorite dish loved by many people.*

You toast the bread with cheese and spinach together. At the same time, scramble the eggs in another pan and combine the two parts of the sandwich and you are done with this dish.

Health & Life Newspaper quoted Dr. Truong Hong Son - Vietnam Institute of Applied Medicine as saying that eggs are a source of high-quality, easily digestible and easily digestible protein along with essential vitamins and minerals.
