Quick Read
Veganuary's popularity is driven by concerns about animal welfare, climate change, and health, but its long-term relevance is debated.
While vegan diets offer potential health benefits like weight management and improved gut health, they also carry nutritional risks if not properly planned.
Achieving a balanced vegan diet requires careful attention to nutrients like B12, iron, omega-3s, and protein, and awareness of ultra-processed food risks.
Veganuary can be a positive experience if approached with planning, balance, and an understanding that gradual changes lead to sustainable health improvements.
