Patients with hypertension can eat silkworm pupae, which are high-protein foods, and it has no effect on patients with hypertension. Patients with hypertension should try not to eat pupae that are too salty or fried, because patients with hypertension need a low-salt, low-fat diet. Patients with hypertension should preferably eat pupae in boiled form to ensure that they do not lose their nutrients and do not raise their blood pressure. However, if hypertension is combined with chronic kidney disease, try to eat less high-protein food, because high-protein food can aggravate kidney damage.
