Lack of knowledge about nutrition makes children buy food without knowing whether the food contains sufficient nutrition or not. In fact, food has an important role in children's growth and development because it is the main builder of growth and development. Nutrition education is very much needed to improve children's knowledge and behavior. The storytelling method is one of the educational methods that can be used in an effort to teach students a healthy lifestyle, including about healthy food. The purpose of this community service is to increase students' knowledge about healthy food by using the storytelling method so that children are expected to behave healthily by consuming healthy food and snacks. Community service was carried out at Bambini School Paguyangan with 19 students aged 3-6 years. The activity went well, there was an increase in children's knowledge about healthy food and participants were very enthusiastic in answering questions. Healthy food education can also prevent students from buying snacks carelessly and choosing healthy foods. Healthy food education regarding the selection of healthy foods is expected to create a healthier generation.

The world is facing a triple burden caused by various disease problems. These problems include the presence of New Emerging and Re-Emerging Infectious Diseases such as Covid 19, Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) tend to increase every year and Infectious diseases that have not been resolved properly. This causes Indonesia to only focus on curative health efforts (Nina et al, 2018). Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, stroke. cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes are the main causes of death in the world (WHO, 2018). Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) or Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) are diseases that cannot be transmitted from person to person, whose development progresses slowly over a long period of time (chronic). Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), also known as chronic diseases, tend to last a long time and are the result of a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioral factors (WHO, 2018).

Hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases and is most common in society. Hypertension is now a major problem for all of us, not only in Indonesia but in the world, because hypertension is a risk factor for heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes and stroke (Indonesian Ministry of Health, 2019). Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018 shows that around 1.13 billion people in the world have hypertension, meaning that 1 in 3 people in the world are diagnosed with hypertension. The number of people with hypertension continues to increase every year, it is estimated that by 2025 there will be 1.5 billion people affected by hypertension and it is estimated that every year 10.44 million people die due to hypertension and its complications (Ministry of Health, 2019). Based on Riskesdas 2018, the prevalence of hypertension based on measurement results in the population aged 18 years was 34.1%, the highest in South Kalimantan (44.1%), while the lowest was in Papua (22.2%). Hypertension occurred in the age group 31-44 years (31.6%), age 45-54 years (45.3%), age 55-64 years (55.2%). From the prevalence of hypertension of 34.1%, it is known that 8.8% were diagnosed with hypertension and 13.3% of people diagnosed with hypertension did not take medication and 32.3% did not regularly take medication. This shows that the majority of hypertension sufferers do not know that they have hypertension and therefore do not receive treatment (Ministry of Health, 2019).
