The quarterly magazine launched last week is about healthy living and eating, said editor Ram Lingam. The magazine hopes to create health awareness among South Asians who are known for their high levels of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity, he added.

The magazine features articles that promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles and suggests outdoor options for the community.
