Millions of people around the world take part in Veganuary, a global challenge that encourages individuals to follow a fully plant-based diet throughout January.
The movement appeals to many for a variety of reasons, with health being one of the main drivers. Vegan diets often encourage people to eat more fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole foods, while reducing their intake of processed foods.
However, consulting a healthcare practitioner before making any major dietary changes is always advisable.
As veganism continues to grow, restaurants across the world are expanding their plant-based offerings. Johannesburg, in particular, boasts several eateries that cater exclusively to vegans.
