Beyond the wonderful social aspects of Twitter (which is the whole point, right?), I love that on Twitter, you can follow chefs, nutritionists, health nuts, authors, foodies, and regular people who occasionally discuss health issues or recipes.

Did you know that Adagio Teas, Ocean of Tea, and Mighty Leaf tea are all on Twitter? Did you know that they occasionally tweet to each other? And they usually answer when I tweet them (Your milage may vary- but I follow all three and like to jump into their convos).

And then there are the recipe tweets. Sometimes friends tweet about what they’re making for dinner, and when asked will provide the recipe. Sometimes, there are entire Twitter accounts, such as Recipe A Day, who only tweet recipe links.  And then there are food bloggers who announce when new recipes are on their blogs. I recommend following @BlogWellDone as he has a lot of great vegan recipes.

That’s not even getting into the other vegan bloggers and exercise gurus that I’ve met through Twitter.  So, I do it for social interaction, but apparently you CAN Twitter for your health.
