Serialize loads of different data

Hi,

My question is as follows. I have a game where there are multiple Characters, all with their health system, skills, items etc. I managed to serialize the position of each character and then load that info back in so they are in the position that you saved it in.

What now if i also want to add all that other info? What is an efficient way of getting all the data, without writing too many lines of code? Should i compress all the health info into one string and then when i load it back up divide the lines so the Characters get the correct info again?

As an example here is my health class

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 [System.Serializable]
 public class Health
 {
     public string bodypartName;
     public int healthId;
     public int bodyPartMaxHealthPoints;
     public int bodypartHealthpoints;
     public HealthStatus healthStatus;
 
     //these are all the existing itemtypes. This is a selectable when creating an item, and will identify it as one
     public enum HealthStatus
     {
         Fine, Broken, Torn, Infected, Paralyzed
     }
 
     //this is how every single item will be set up. If i want to add more, i have to add them in the public class Item and then
     //add them here as well so the itemDatabase can be updated
     public Health(string name, int id, int maxhp, int hp, HealthStatus type)
     {
         bodypartName = name;
         healthId = id;
         bodyPartMaxHealthPoints = maxhp;
         bodypartHealthpoints = hp;
         healthStatus = type;
     }
 }

And the script attached to the character gameObject that gets the info from the database

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class CharacterHealthSystem : MonoBehaviour {
     public Health head;
     public Health torso;
     public Health stomach;
     public Health leftArm;
     public Health rightArm;
     public Health leftLeg;
     public Health rightLeg;
 
     private HealthDatabase healthDatabase;
 
     void Update()
     {
         if (head.bodypartHealthpoints <= 50)
         {
             head.healthStatus = Health.HealthStatus.Torn;
         }
 
         if (head.bodypartHealthpoints <-0)
         {
             Destroy(transform.parent.gameObject);
         }
     }
 
     void Start()
     {
         healthDatabase = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("HealthManager").GetComponent<HealthDatabase>();
         UpdateHealth();
     }
 
     void UpdateHealth()
     {
         head = healthDatabase.parts[0];
         torso = healthDatabase.parts[1];
         stomach = healthDatabase.parts[2];
         leftArm = healthDatabase.parts[3];
         rightArm = healthDatabase.parts[4];
         leftLeg = healthDatabase.parts[5];
         rightLeg = healthDatabase.parts[6];
     }
 }

The biggest letdown is that i can't just serialize the GameObject, that would make the job a lot easier. Or is there a way to save certain components with BinaryFormatter?
