I am finally getting the hang of Twitter and was psyched to see 35 Diet And Nutrition Experts You Need To Follow On Twitter on Huffington Post. As they say, Twitter is a source of more information than anyone can possibly digest, but it’s also the place to get up close and personal with top experts in every field. So who should you follow to learn the most about diet and nutrition? They suggest many well known (and a few lesser known) experts like @FrankLipman (physician and food guru to the stars), @michaelpollan (star food author), @taraparkerpope (one of my favorite bloggers from the NY Times), @bittman (minimalist chef and runner Mark Bittman) and @OrganicAuthorit
I “followed” a bunch of new “tweeps” to but also think they should add my favorites tweeps @nutritionenergy (Lauren and her staff of nutritionists in NYC) and @amandaskrip (awesome natural food chef in Chicago.) You can check out Lauren’s guest post HERE and Amanda’s guest post HERE.
Who are your favorite health and wellness tweeps?
There was a lot of overlap from this list on the Sharecare list of Top 10 Online Influencers Helping America Eat Better. Each month the website Sharecare (a health and wellness social media platform from the founder of WebMD) posts a list of influencers in various disciplines with links to their blogs, FB and Twitter accounts as well as cool info graphics on the topic.
