During pregnancy, it’s even more important to eat enough fiber. This is because the hormones and changes that take place in your body make you more susceptible to gut problems such as heartburn, constipation, and inflammatory bowel disease. Jicama is an excellent source of fiber and hence is safe to eat during pregnancy.

If you want to return to your exact pre-pregnancy weight or shape you can add raw jicama to your diet. It is best to wait at least 2 months for your body to recover from childbirth.

Consuming Jicama will only benefit your health while also establishing good eating habits for your baby to follow when she be­gins consuming solids around six months of age.

Jicama contains a significant amount of dietary fiber which helps digestion. It is also rich in antioxidants. You can add jicama to your baby's diet, as soon as the baby starts eating solids, from 6 months onwards.
