The assessment results obtained regarding the client's level of knowledge regarding the educational topic that will be provided, the client was only able to answer 3 out of 12 questions with a percentage of 25%, meaning that the client's knowledge was still very lacking, especially regarding the fast diet topic. The results obtained after intervention with the client are that the client understands and is able to explain the material provided. The evaluation obtained was that the client responded well and looked curious and interested in this dash diet. It is recommended that active activities in the community can provide changes regarding healthy behavior or lifestyle in groups of people from childbearing age to the elderly and routinely provide education as a health service or regular health coaching regarding recommended eating patterns, especially for hypertension sufferers.
