Abstract

Blang Padang Field is located in the heart of Banda Aceh City. This area is a destination for residents on weekends for sports activities and other family activities which are carried out on Sunday mornings. The majority of people who visit are urban residents who tend to consume salt, sugar, high fat, and low fiber and protein. If there are no efforts to improve the perspective on good eating habits in society, it will trigger the emergence of diseases that are often experienced by people, one of which is gout. Uric acid is a compound produced by the body to break down purines. Purine is a natural substance that has several important functions for the body. This condition can reduce the quality and productivity of human resources. Efforts to improve people's diet in the form of monitoring health status with the parameters of blood pressure, blood sugar, uric acid, cholesterol and body weight as well as educating the public on healthy eating patterns are needed. The aim of community service is to improve the health status of the community. The implementation method used is providing education regarding healthy eating patterns, types of healthy food and evaluation of educational results.
