One of the primary topics of discussion during the camp was the concept of the “nutrition flag” and the importance of incorporating foods of three different colors into one’s diet. This approach highlights the significance of a diverse and balanced diet to ensure that individuals receive a wide range of essential nutrients. By consuming foods of varying colors, individuals can obtain different vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that contribute to overall health.
