Our research has found that South Asian women are at the greatest risk for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases due to lifestyle, diet and even genetics. Henna Health's purpose is to advocate for South Asian women's health in the western world, educate youngsters and older South Asian women, provide and create opportunities for low income minorities around the world. Women are constantly denied education and forced to stay home or avoid going to the doctor despite experiencing symptoms due to the lack of money to pay for the doctor’s visit. The data presented showcased that South Asian women are more at risk for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases due to additional visceral adiposity, lack of calcium, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D, and too much-saturated fat, sodium, synthetic sugar, and carbohydrate. These conditions are rapidly increasing via generations because of no change in diet and lack of active lifestyle. Therefore, hailing from a certain ethnicity like South Asia can alter the probability and likelihood of a physiological condition in women, primarily diabetes(both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes) and alarming heart conditions. The problem is majority of these women are not aware themselves, which further emphasizes the need to address this issue.
