Ever wondered about changing your life for the better? Maybe you’re interested in losing weight, being more active or just feeling healthier. To live a healthier life you’ll most likely need to make some adjustments in a wide variety of areas. Being “healthy” is based on many things including: your genetics, diet, exercise routine and lifestyle choices. Since you cannot control your genes, making changes to items you have control over can help lead to a healthier lifestyle. Focus on making small changes to your diet, exercise and other lifestyle factors to help make you healthier.

Health Care
Bangladesh suffers from both a shortage of and geographic mal-distribution of HRH. There are an estimated 3.05 physicians per 10,000 population and 1.07 nurses per 10,000 population (estimates based on MoHFW HRD 2011). There is a severe gap between sanctioned and filled health worker positions: 36% vacancy in sanctioned health worker positions and only 32% of facilities have 75% or more of the sanctioned staff working in the facilities (World Bank, 2009). 28% of treatment provided in government health facilities is through alternative medicine (Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathy), yet as of June 2011, there was a 50% vacancy rate for alternative medicine providers (MoHFW AMC 2011).
Health workers are concentrated in urban secondary and tertiary hospitals, although 70% of the population lives in rural areas (Country Case study (GHWA, 2008). Major challenges include: an overly- centralized health system, weak governance structure and regulatory framework, weak management and institutional capacity in the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), fragmented public service delivery, inefficient allocation of public resources, lack of regulation of the private sector – which employs 58% of all physicians, shortage of HRH, high turnover and absenteeism of health workers, and poor maintenance of health facilities and medical equipment.
Despite these challenges and the fact that HRH was not considered a priority in the current sector program, there have been recent successes including: increase in the number of graduates and health worker training facilities, and an increased number of rural health facilities. The MoHFW prepared its new sector program – the Health, Population and Nutrition Sector Development Program (HPNSDP) and is revising its draft National Health Policy, based on lessons learned from previous programs. Goals include: developing an HRH plan, creating a functional HRH Information System (HRIS), scaling up the production of critical health workers, introducing incentive packages to deploy and retain critical health workers in remote and rural areas, addressing the challenge of skilled birth attendance by training community-based SBAs and/or nurse-midwives and family welfare visitors, and streamlining the recruitment and promotion of nurses (PID, World Bank, 2011).

Human resources are vital to an effective health care system [1]. From an economics viewpoint, health workers’ salaries make up a great share of health budgets in most countries [1]. The health worker is the gatekeeper of the health system.
In the workplace, motivation can be defined as an “individual’s degree of willingness to exert and maintain an effort towards organizational goals”[2]. Motivation is closely linked to job satisfaction, which retains workers at their jobs over time [3]. Health worker retention reduces costs to the health system of having to recruit, hire, and orient new workers and also reduces the likelihood of vacant posts [4]. As many countries currently experience a shortage of qualified health workers [5], the loss of any health worker—especially doctors and nurses—has serious ramifications for the health of people in that country [6]. Keeping health workers satisfied and motivated helps the entire health system work smoothly
Importance of Health
Cells are the fundamental units of all living organisms. They are made up of a variety of chemical substances. Cells move from place to place. Even if the cell is not moving, a lot of repairing still goes on within it. Besides this, there are various specialized activities in our body, like the heart pumps blood, the kidney filters the urine, the brain is constantly thinking, the lungs help in breathing.
This way, there is a lot of interconnectedness between the various organs in our body. For all these activities, our body needs energy and raw material. Food is necessary for cell and tissue functioning. Therefore, if you are not well, all your bodily activities start getting hampered.
