Many obese and hypertensive individuals reside in suburban areas with poor health infrastructure and low levels of public awareness. The adult morbidity and mortality rates are currently being dominated by diet-related non-communicable diseases like obesity, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome in various countries. Applying both individualized and community-based health promotion strategies can result in the prevention and control of obesity and hypertension. This study examined the role of nutrition in promoting good health, preventing and treating obesity and hypertension in suburban areas. The prevalence of diet-related non-communicable diseases has been notably reduced as a result of health promotion programs. A diet high in dietary fiber, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, fish, legumes, non-tropical vegetable oils, and nuts (in moderation) has been promoted. This needs to be adjusted to take into consideration the required calorie intake, unique dietary preferences based on culture and individual, as well as nutrition therapy for various medical conditions.

Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a major clinical care concept, especially for non-communicable diseases such as obesity and hypertension. Primary healthcare (PHC) centers are the first point of contact with health services and provide a point of entry for the entire health system. Research has revealed that access to primary healthcare services is associated with improved health outcomes, such as an improvement in self-rated health and a decline in all-cause mortality. However, the integration of MNT in hypertension and obesity management at PHC level is unclear. The aim of this study is to establish PHC services for obese and hypertensive individuals with a focus on nutrition, and the need for further research. Awareness of dietary approach to stop hypertension (DASH) among health workers, obese and hypertensive individuals and it utilization in practice was low in PHC centers this is due to lack of registered dietitians’ nutritionists who are trained in MNT which is complicated by lack of ministerial funding of PHC facilities.
