The method of activity carried out is by providing outreach and education about preventing overnutrition and hypertension with a healthy lifestyle. This activity was carried out in 2 villages, namely in Bolon Village and Baturan Village, Colomadu District, Karanganyar Regency. This activity was attended by posyandu cadres in the 2 villages. This activity was carried out in conjunction with routine meetings of posyandu cadres in Bolon Village and Baturan Village. In Bol on Village, counseling was carried out on preventing overnutrition with balanced nutrition, which was carried out using the FGD (Focus Group Discussion) method, while in Baturan Village it was carried out in conjunction with a meeting of village posyandu cadres at Siaga Sejahtera Sejahtera (DS3).
