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.
