[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will operate the "Nutrition Camp? Fill Up My Precious Body" at the Geumjeong-gu Nutrition Education Experience Center and each home for three weeks starting from the 25th.

The camp aims to improve parents' awareness of nutrition and foster their children's willingness to improve eating habits. It will be conducted for a total of 200 participants, including 100 students who need obesity and dietary habit improvement and 100 parents.

The camp is held with the goal of health promotion through four healthy practices: "Exercise ha-go~od, Eat vegetables ha-go~od, Sleep early ha-go~od, Reduce sugar ha-go~od."

On the 25th, the camp will be held on-site at the Nutrition Education Experience Center, and from the 26th for three weeks, it will be operated online at each home.

The on-site camp consists of various programs including ▲ "Let's do it together, Health Promise," a mushroom cultivation kit-making program ▲ watching a puppet show to learn the four health rules ▲ operation of six selectable booths and two exhibition experience booths ▲ and experiencing the "four mission booths" composed of physical activities and cooking activities.

The online camp operates daily with different themes, starting at 9 a.m. with the "10-minute Health Exercise Together" program and four health rule practice programs using the "Nutrition Camp Experience Kit and Workbook," scheduled by day of the week.

The camp also provides personalized face-to-face nutrition counseling based on the physical measurements, body fat measurement results of participating students, and the results of pre-conducted nutrition diagnostic tests.

During the online camp, nutrition teachers provide secondary counseling to help increase students' willingness to improve their eating habits.

Nam Su-jeong, Director of School Life Education at the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, "Childhood obesity is likely to lead to adult obesity, so it is an issue that requires joint concern and attention from both home and school," adding, "The camp will be very helpful for students to continuously and actively manage themselves, follow health rules, and form proper eating habits."
