10 Health Benefits of Jicama
Jicama Benefit #7: More Energy
We get all of our energy from the food that we eat. The energy largely comes from carbohydrates and fats, and these are processed into the energy that we need. This energy is either used straightaway, or it is stored in the body as fat as an energy source that can be used later on if needed.
In order to process our food into energy, though, it first needs to be broken down. Jicama contains nutrients that can help to break down our food into molecules that our bodies can then process, potentially giving us more energy overall. These compounds can also help to stabilize the stomach.
