Writing evidence-informed health guidance for Bangladeshis — grounded in local foods, local life, and local reality.
I'm Mohammad Ruman — the founder and author of Sasto Bangladesh, published at rumanwellness.com. I started this site out of a frustration I imagine many Bangladeshis share: the health advice I found online was almost always built for people in London or California, not Dhaka. Not our food, not our budget, not our reality.
My goal is simple: take evidence-based health information and make it genuinely useful to Bangladeshis — by grounding it in the foods we actually eat, the lifestyle challenges we actually face (Dhaka traffic, load-shedding, ৳200 food budgets), and the language we actually speak.
I am a Bangladeshi health writer and researcher based in Bangladesh. My interest in health and nutrition grew from seeing the disconnect between mainstream health media and the daily reality of life in Bangladesh — a gap that Sasto Bangladesh exists to bridge.
Years of self-directed study in evidence-based health, nutrition science, and preventive medicine — drawing on WHO technical reports, peer-reviewed journals (PubMed, Lancet, BMJ), and Bangladesh-specific public health data from MOHFW and IEDCR.
Lifelong resident of Bangladesh. First-hand knowledge of local food systems, healthcare access barriers, socioeconomic health constraints, and the cultural context that global health guidance routinely ignores.
Author of 20+ in-depth health articles covering nutrition, fitness, mental wellness, and sleep — all researched against primary scientific literature and localised for Bangladeshi readers in both English and Bengali.
