ABN Africa February 4, 2021: Cairo UTC+2: Fruits and Vegetables According to the world health organization, fruits and vegetables have been the food that has sustained human and animal life since its inception. Fruits and vegetables have all the basic vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that a person needs to survive and lead a healthy life.

Fruits and vegetables absorb minerals from the soil. We know this because doctors find minerals like iron and zinc in our bloodstream. We still don’t know if eating minerals directly is the right thing to do. We assume that people need trace amounts of minerals from the content observed in their bloodstream and so we make them available in vitamins. We also know that the body sometimes expels what it does not need or what it has in excess. During menstruation, a woman’s body expels an enormous amount of iron. To much calcium in men is known to cause problems, but doctors say calcium is good for bones and is abundant in cow’s milk.
