Whether you are a vegetarian or not, a healthy lifestyle is essential to long and healthy life. Palm Beach County is home to several all vegetarian and vegan restaurants.   In general, most vegetarian diets are low in cholesterol, saturated fats, high in fiber and folate, with zero animal protein and full of flavor! 

Not all vegetarians eat clean.  Many replace protein with high fat cheeses and junk food.   After all, there is no meat in brownies, chips, and ice cream.  One can easily consume large quantities of high sugar, carbohydrates, and fats. If meat proteins are not substituted with good nutritional choices, it can lead to national deficiencies. Palm Beach County has several well-known vegetarian restaurants. 

It has been studied that in western countries most vegetarians live longer than most non-vegetarians live. They have substantially reduced risks for heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure and reduced risks for such cancers, particularly lung cancer and colon cancer.  Check out some of the tasty vegetarian restaurants located throughout the area.
