RE: Oh hey Steemit, I didn’t see you there! My name is Drew, allow me to introduce myself.
Hi @thedrewtrott, welcome to the community! I have not spent much longer time on the platform than you and it seems like we have similar interests. Nutrition is a relatively newer passion, unfortunately due to inaccurate information spreading, I didn't understand the fundamentals until early adulthood. I am always ready to hear more information about nutrition, particularly plant-based (finally think I'm understanding the importance of omega-3 ratio for avoiding sclerosis in the body, interesting in hearing about seaweed!).
Your statement of "thinking how to adult better" sounds like it could be a description of my blog, mind if I quote you? ;) I have only just released an introductory post as well but I am hoping that finding community members like yourself to help drive my project by discussing what we want to do for our future selves and finding the best indicated ways to do that, heavily reliant on peer-reviewed, evidence based research as much as possible, but with a conversation in the comments that allows for sharing of anecdotes and support or giving yourself a shout-out for progress hard-earned. I look forward to discovering your travel destinations and following your book selections for the year; do you gravitate toward fiction or non-fiction books most?
Thanks so much for your response and taking the time to read my intro 😁 . Yes, nutrition is one of those subjects that can be heavily influenced by media hype and personal preference/motives and the real science is often misunderstood or skewed to suit a particular agenda. Omega-3s are incredibly important, you're probably away of them in fish oils, but not alot of people know that fish actually get it by eating seaweed. So why not get it straight from the source, rather than harvesting fish unnecessarily.
Of course you can quote me, no dramas at all. Thanks again for taking interest in my background, I look forward to your content too. Consider yourself followed 👌🏻
I have had sesame seaweed snacks in my cupboard for a few months to try and I keep failing to actually grab them and pop em open...my fish intake has been down anyway, I will have to use them for a quick munch soon.
I appreciate the support!
