Heirloom vegetables grow more slowly and spoil much more quickly than modern crops. This is because modern crops have less nutritional value - https://jeroenvanbaar.substack.com/p/data-dispatch-4-the-falling-nutritional

That article recommends eating a better diet. Sure. Seems a bit idealist. Here's some more actionable advice: everyone should take a multivitamin and magnesium glycinate. If you live somewhere that gets a winter take vitamin D too.

I'm speaking from experience here, I used to get sick every winter and my skin would get so dry it would crack and bleed. Take your vitamins.

CW for the vegans, I'll be talking about canned fish in this comment

Check out those deenz, folks. Try and descend your snouts into a funky can of sardines this season. They're real good; rich in bio-available Vitamin D, rich in healthy fats and they got a lot of calcium too. Get some tasty sardines (ideally, with skin on and bones in), laid to rest in a fresh drizzle of olive oil and enjoy that little bite of the seas. I've started eating a bunch of canned fish (mostly herring and sardines, tuna isn't ideal) this winter and my skin is a lot better, as is the seasonal depression. Can recommend

it's nature's multivitamin, really

Mmm I forgot to add krill oil to my list of things to probably take

Omega 3 fatty acids and it's vegan

I thought krill were technically animals?

Krill are small crustaceans similar to Shrimp. They are not vegan.
