Abstract

Stunting, a significant health problem in Indonesia, must be addressed. Stunting is defined as a condition caused by inadequate nutritional intake that does not meet nutritional needs. Integrated Service Posts (Posyandu) are a way to provide health services to the community and have the ability to develop resources, especially in health matters. The methods used in this community service activity are lecture/presentation and discussion and question and answer methods. The lecture activities included presenting material on the importance of balanced nutrition during the first 1000 days of life (HPK), explaining the role of cadres in providing simple counseling to the community, facilitating discussions and question-and-answer sessions, and concluding the session. Overall, the implemented activities showcase the active participation of both the cadres and the community. These results serve as the basis for implementing further activities in the form of monitoring, evaluation, and more targeted health interventions.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is a major cause of stroke and coronary heart disease. It is commonly found in the community and is a significant contributor to mortality and disability worldwide. A preliminary study showed that more than 50% of Prolanis members in Bangsah Village, Sreseh Subdistrict, Sampang Regency had high cholesterol levels; therefore, alternative supplements are needed to reduce blood cholesterol levels. Garlic is a food ingredient that is widely available in the community but has not been widely utilized as a cholesterol-lowering supplement. Garlic contains allicin, which has strong antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It also contains ajoene, saponins, flavonoids, and various sulfur compounds that contribute to its health benefits. Studies have shown that garlic consumption can help reduce total cholesterol and LDL levels. Therefore, education on processing garlic into black garlic is highly needed to reduce cholesterol levels among hypertensive Prolanis members. The results of the community service activity showed that the program was implemented smoothly and successfully, starting from the survey and coordination stage, the initial assessment, program implementation, and evaluation. The success of this PKM activity is expected to be beneficial for the wider community, especially regarding the use of garlic to reduce cholesterol levels. The evaluation results showed a 17% reduction in the number of hypertensive Prolanis members with high cholesterol levels.
