Swift UI with Nested Navigation Views

Question

I am new to SwiftUI and Stack Overflow as well, so any help here is appreciated. I am currently making an app that has nested Navigation Views. However, one issue I am having is that when I am using these nested Views, the Navigation Titles (ex. the back button) are lining below each other, forming a Navigation Bar that is quite tall. I looked at this link and it used a List, but I do not want my app to be in this format. I would like to use text elements that are formatted in different colors and font sizes (please see the attached screenshot), however, this thread only has this list function, not in the format I would like it. Please help me figure out how to get rid of these extra navigation bars!

Nested Navigation Bar:

Here is my code:

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
            
            NavigationView {
                
                ZStack {
                   
                    Image("img6").resizable().aspectRatio(contentMode: .fill).ignoresSafeArea()
                VStack {
                    
                    Text("SLED").font(.largeTitle).fontWeight(.heavy).padding().background(Color.blue).cornerRadius(10.0)
                    Spacer()
                    Text("Shelf Life Expiry Date Tracker").font(.title).fontWeight(.bold)
                       
                        
                    Spacer()
                    
                    ZStack {
                    Image(systemName: "cloud")
                        .padding()

As stated earlier in the comments you need to remove a NavigationView. And almost always you'll want to remove any NavigationView on the children views.

Essentially what's happening is you are double stacking your NavViews and can cause some really funky behavior.
