同為人，但我們都是不同個體。我們有不同的個性、習慣，我們有不同的偏好、興趣，我們有不同的作息、職業，我們有不同的居住環境、地區。這些都造就我與你之間的差異。適合我的，不代表適合你的；你喜歡的，不代表我喜歡的。既然如此，為何別人適合的養生方式，就一定適合自己呢？


很多人以為中醫只是治病 - 連國際的衛生組織也不例外。實際上中醫是一門生活哲學，一門能在生活中實踐，保養身體的哲學，治病反而是非不得已而為之的手段。外面充斥著各種標榜「健康」、「養生」、「自然」的食物產品，一篇篇暗示明示各種所謂中醫理論、關於健康與養生的文章。大家或多或少試過，有的有效，有的沒效，有的甚至不對勁，為什麼呢？

古代中國哲學與文化講求中庸之道，講求平衡；延伸到養生，中醫哲學理論中講求三因制宜：因時、因地、因人 - 也就是根據不同時間、季節、氣候、地域環境、年齡、性別、體質、狀態，去制定適合的養生方案。即使居住同樣地方，在不同季節，飲食作息已經需要調整 - 夏天我們喜歡喝清涼飲料，冬天則喜歡吃熱食。但是怎樣吃、如何吃，是有因人而異。養生並不只是在身體健康時進行，也適合在受傷疾病初癒。例如同樣兩位運動愛好的男性，即使是同樣年齡，一位是健康的，另一位是骨折痊癒、剛拆石膏，即使同樣想透過養生讓自己表現更好，養生方式已經不一樣。養生是一輩子的事，從來沒有一個養生方法可以在任何時間、地點適合任何人。

想要養生，不見得需要一大堆昂貴的保養品，除了自身的健康目標，也要先了解自己的身體狀態及需求，才能根據自身需要，事半功倍的養生 - 專業的量身定做養生方案就是為此而設。

We are all human being, but we are different individuals. We have different characters and habits; we have different preferences and hobbies; we have different life-style and career; we live in different environments and locations. These make us different. Those are suitable to me, it doesn't mean also suitable for you; those you like, it doesn't mean I also like them. So, why is it possible that a health regimen can be fit to everyone?

Many people think that traditional Chinese medicine is for curing disease - even international health organisation. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine is a life-style philosophy, a philosophy that everyone can practise and maintain our body to stay healthy - and to curing disease, is actually "as a last resort" technique. There are bunches of food and products that claim "healthy", "improve body status"; many articles directly or indirectly claim with Chinese medicine theory to stay healthy. Maybe you tried, some work, some didn't work, some even worse. Why?

Ancient Chinese philosophy and culture emphasise balance, which is also in health cultivation. In Chinese medicine theory, to make up a plan to stay health, it must be based on timing, location and individual - that means based on time, season, climate, location and environment, age, gender, body type and body status. Even living in the same city, we have different food preferences in different season, e.g. we like cold drinks during summer and prefer hot food during winter. But how to eat, what to eat, that is the question. Also, health cultivation is only for healthy individuals but especially important for after-injury or early-recover stage. For example, even two same-age, sporty males, one is healthy, the other one is just recovered from broken arm, they both want to have better improvement on their favourite sport, the plans are totally different - health cultivation is long-life work, there is no single health cultivation plan which is suitable for anytime, anywhere and anyone.

We mostly don't need expensive, fancy healthcare product to be healthy. Except we know our health goal, what we need is to understand our body status and what we actually need, so that we can “do more with less" to maintain our body - this is why a professional, tailor-made health cultivation plan is necessary.
