What are the benefits of eating silkworm pupae for men?

Silkworm pupae are extremely nutritious, with rich protein (fresh silkworm pupae contain 51% crude protein), oleic acid (crude protein accounts for 29%), vitamins (including vitamin D, vitamin B22, vitamin D and ergosterol, etc.). The protein content of silkworm pupae is over 50%, which is much higher than that of ordinary food, and the protein contains all the necessary amino acids. Silkworm pupa protein is composed of 18 kinds of carbohydrates, among which the 8 essential carbohydrates for the body are very high.

Nutritional composition of silkworm pupae:

1. Clear and protect the liver: The unsaturated fat in silkworm pupa oil can significantly reduce the content of hyaluronic acid, laminin and tumor necrosis factors in blood cells, thus preventing hepatitis and cirrhosis, and also has the effect of resisting liver chemofibrosis.

2. Regulate blood sugar and lower blood pressure: The unsaturated fat in silkworm pupa oil can remove triglycerides from the blood, reduce endogenous total cholesterol production, and increase the body's cholesterol and bile acid excretion. As early as 1973, there was a report at the Military Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Conference that 31 cases of hypercholesterolemia were treated with purified silkworm pupae in the form of granules for oral administration. After 4 to 12 weeks of administration, 27 people recovered to normal levels, indicating that silkworm pupae have a good effect in lowering blood lipids; α-a linolenic acid in silkworm pupa oil can produce PGE1, which can reduce aortic blood pressure and reduce peripheral vascular friction resistance, but it is not easy to reduce blood pressure for people with normal blood pressure. In addition, the unsaturated fat in silkworm pupa oil can inhibit platelet aggregation in the human body and reduce thrombosis, thus preventing arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, hypertension, and stroke.

3. Delaying aging: The unsaturated fat in silkworm pupa oil can significantly enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase SOD and reduce the oxygen free radical metabolite MDA, which has a very good effect in delaying aging.

4. Improve IQ and eyesight: The unsaturated fat in silkworm pupa oil can promote the production of nucleotide protein and monoacrylamine metabolites in the brain, significantly enhance IQ and eyesight, and improve memory.

5. Weight loss and beauty skin care: Functional experiments show that the unsaturated fat in silkworm pupa oil has excellent weight loss effect, especially reducing unnecessary body fat; it also has very practical effects of preventing skin wrinkles, removing spots, whitening skin, and moisturizing the face.
