Jamaican cuisine is healthy because it is made with many unprocessed foods, uses smaller portions of meat and has a high content of fish, beans, and vegetables. However, all of these great qualities go out the window when they are presented on the buffet table coated in a layer of butter or are deep fried. Steer clear of fried and buttery foods, and enjoy the natural and healthful Jamaican cuisine.

The Virgin Islands, as well as Barbados and Aruba, offer many vegan and vegetarian restaurant options. These locations are a little more ‘Americanized’ which essentially means two things. They have a whole lot more fast food chains to support a heavy flow of American tourists, and they also have a wider variety of options when it comes to vegetarian and vegan.

Do your research if you’re interested in a healthier vacation destination. Find out what the restaurants in your hotel serves as well as your options outside of the resort. If you do your due-diligence then you will be better prepared to keep your body healthy.
