The majority of vitamins and minerals that you need to keep healthy come from a varied diet. You need to eat plenty of fruit and veg (lots of different types and colours), some nuts and seeds, wholegrains, and lean fish/meat or plant proteins (lentils, beans, chickpeas, etc.). Ditch the majority of processed foods from your diet and try to cook from scratch.

The one vitamin that is hard to get from just diet is vitamin D - it is mainly produced from the skin's exposure to sunlight. Taking a vitamin D supplement through winter is often recommended.
