According to nutrition experts, jicama can help support digestion, reduce toxin buildup and cool the body.
Beetroot contains many antioxidants and fiber, which help support the digestive system and reduce the accumulation of toxins in the body. Julia Zumpano, a nutritionist at Cleveland Clinic (the leading non-profit academic medical system in the US), said that foods rich in water and fiber like beetroot can help improve digestive function and support the body's natural detoxification process.
Below are 3 folk remedies from jicama that many people apply:
Watermelon cooked with sugarcane juice
Beetroot combined with sugarcane juice helps cool down, quench thirst and support cooling the body. According to experts from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, USA), foods rich in water and minerals help maintain electrolyte balance, supporting detoxification through the kidneys.
Pudding cooked with pineapple leaves
This drink helps cool down and reduce the feeling of internal heat. Pineapple leaves contain antioxidant compounds that help reduce oxidative stress and support liver function.

The combination of jicama and ginger helps support digestion and reduce bloating. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine (Johns Hopkins University Medical System, USA), ginger has anti-inflammatory and digestive support properties, contributing to promoting the detoxification process.
However, experts recommend that body detoxification should be based on a balanced diet, drinking enough water and limiting processed foods to achieve sustainable results.
