It’s that time of year when we try to stick to the resolutions that we made in the festive run up to the New Year. For lots of people those resolutions involve a pledge to eat healthier food and less meat but it can be tough to find a quality vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Tenerife.
Luckily Venture Group Tenerife has got you covered with a number of our restaurants serving delicious vegan dishes that will help you join more than 600k people around the world who are taking part in the healthy, month long challenge that is “Veganuary”.
Created in 2014 by a UK based non-profit organisation, the key goals behind Veganuary were to protect the environment, prevent animal suffering and improve the health of those who participated. By 2022 more than 620,000 people took part in the world’s biggest vegan challenge.
The health benefits that come with a month of super-healthy eating include lower blood pressure and cholesterol, a lower risk of type two diabetes, weight loss, and improved digestion.
Plant-based or plant-forward eating is when your focus is on foods that originate from plants rather than animals. Plant-based dining can offer your body all the protein, vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and carbohydrates that it needs to maintain an optimal level of health.
And following this type of eating plan doesn’t have to be boring or difficult – Venture Group will take the hassle out of creating a nutritious meal and offers a wide selection of vibrant, exciting dishes across a range of different cuisines.
