What we’re about
Why are South Asians having heart attacks in their 30s, 40s, and 50s — even if they’re slim, vegetarian, and active?
Because no one told us what’s different about our bodies.
We created SAHI - South Asian Heart Initiative to change that.
This group is for anyone who wants to:
• Understand their unique heart risk (genetics, diet, stress, and more)
• Learn about life-saving tests every South Asian family should know
• Meet others who care about prevention — and want to protect their parents, siblings, and kids
🔸 This is not just for people with heart problems.
🔸 It’s for anyone who wants to avoid one!
What You Can Expect:
We host easy, informal gatherings:
- Walk + Talk sessions around events
- Checklist Sessions (5 tests every Desi should know)
- Healthy twists on classic Indian meals
- Talks from South Asian doctors, dietitians, or survivors
This is not a medical lecture group — it’s a community movement built around conversation, culture, and care.
