Fruits and berries

Vitamins are divided into fat-soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E and K.
All others are water-soluble. The body stores fat-soluble vitamins, which are sufficient for a long time.
Water-soluble vitamins have small stores, from a few days to a few weeks, so their intake must be ensured daily. B vitamins in particular should be obtained almost daily, because as water-soluble they are not stored in the body.

The most important antioxidants obtained from food are vitamin E, vitamin C and selenium, which work to protect, enhance and complement each other.

Flavonoids are abundant in vegetables, berries and fruit and in tea.

Each mineral and trace element has its own function in the structure, metabolism and function of the human skeleton, muscles, nervous system and organs. The amounts and ratios of minerals and trace elements in the body are important in maintaining health. Too small amounts can cause serious health problems, and too large amounts can cause poisoning.
Minerals and trace elements are usually obtained through food by eating vegetables, fruits, whole grain products, seeds, nuts and dairy products.
