If you live on the Outer Banks or are just visiting, hopefully this website will make it easier to find and support delicious animal-friendly cuisine on North Carolina's Barrier Islands. We hope you find VegOuterBanks.com. a valuable resource and your dining experiences delightful! Eating vegetarian is a great way to show compassion to all living beings, including your own body. Cholesterol, a major contributor to heart disease and aging is not found in vegetable diets. One of the first areas of the human body to show signs of aging and disease are areas that experience reduced blood flow, in part caused by cholesterol clogged blood vessels . Once blood vessels become clogged, the body’s cells can no longer get the proper nutrition and oxygen to reproduce a healthy cell. In addition, vegetarian diets contain less calories which can lead to a trim body weight that is easy to maintain!
