衣櫃裡的衣服、書架上的書、鞋櫃裡的鞋、冰箱裡的食物、化妝台上的瓶瓶罐罐。每個人都曾在某個片刻，與自己對話：「當初為什麼會買下這些幾乎用不上的東西？」

那一刻的消費衝動，與此刻的理性反思形成對照。總以為現在的我們比當時更理性，然而事實證明，就算自認理性，仍不斷重演不理性的消費行為。

回想當初付款時的動機，是為了炫耀財力？禮貌捧場？禁不起推銷？還是內心真正需要？答案往往在時間的沖刷下逐漸清晰。

現實生活中，充斥著我們買不起的高檔產品，買不起其實是一種保護。正因買不起，我們少了衝動，多了審慎。有時理性並非來自自律，而來自財力的限制。

我曾沉迷於音樂收藏，最終領悟到：人不能為了「想要」而犧牲「應有的理財習慣」。若收藏剝奪了生活的秩序，那是代價過高的享受。

消費是否理性，關鍵不在「買得起」與否，而在於動機是否清晰。很多時候，衝動來自於「可以預支」，而非「真正需要」。多年後回想，答案已在我們心中默默浮現。

 

以高額消費為例，像是汽車與房屋，經驗告訴我：信用可以預支，但不該轉化為長期的生活壓力，更不能影響健康。

買車之前，應先安排妥善的停車空間，並建立良好的用車習慣，因為一台車的壽命，往往取決於駕駛者的態度和習慣。

我將十年的舊車維護得近乎新車，而我的兒子可以把十年的車開成一堆廢鐵。真相是，我的每一部車，都是在超過十年之後才轉手。

談到消費，自然會想到動機與習慣。而全球最大的消費市場，不外乎「吃」，包含日常飲食與藥品。

吃的動機極為複雜，加工、調味、防腐讓人越吃越想吃，飲食與用藥都深藏著人性上的慣性與依賴。

許多長期用藥者的健康每況愈下，不僅是身體受到控制，連心智也被產品所掌控。無法斷藥，成了一種少數人的思想控制多數人思想的現象。

 

我從事的工作可以橫跨多種健康產品與營養補充品，市場規模之大，足以讓許多專業人士終身投入某品牌行銷。但這個產業的殘酷，在於產品的「高度可替代性」，而背後正是競爭與比較所帶來的壓力。

在我投身「身體之道」的教育之前，也曾接觸過多家大型營養品企業，甚至熟識維他命專賣店的老闆。然而卻逐漸意識到，這些產品與真正的養生核心之間，仍有一段距離。

我從業者的態度與銷售策略中，看見「商法」凌駕「心法」的現象。在尚未理解心法之前，對於商業話術與競爭手段，我始終有本能的排斥。

當某款特殊的發酵液被視為斷食的輔助品，我首先關心：它與身體的磨合是否能被其他方式取代？如果這產品無法避免競爭，它的行銷勢必困難重重。

最終，我領悟：超越營養補給，生命力的補充才是養生的本質。問題是，要怎麼教育大眾去理解這個觀念？這正是我長年工作的挑戰，尤其是在一個深受「商法干擾」的市場中。

十多年前，開始推動「斷食成為生活日常」的理念，我知道這不只是一種選擇，而是一場生活環境的重塑。我所說的「環境」，是指創造一群擁有共同價值觀的人，一起生活、一起實踐。

 

自此，一場內在的「視窗轉換（Paradigm Shift）」在我生命中悄然展開。從身體的視角回溯，才真正明白，傳統大腦的思考框架，如何深深耽誤了我們對健康的認知與實踐。

這份領悟並非刻意追求，而是生命送來的一份禮物。我明白，這樣的轉變，當今社會能夠理解的人並不多，因為它違反了我們習以為常的思考方式與生活模式。

十多年的實踐證明：這條路行得通，只要持之以恆，領悟會不斷出現。

儘管生命力補給本身也需要特定產品，但我始終認為它無可取代，即便它能被檢驗與驗證，仍需「商法」的推動。而我的使命，是讓教育超越商業，把「產品導向」轉為「習慣導向」。

 

「產品無法創造健康」，這句話或許不易被接受。大眾長期以來已習慣相信商品與效果的線性關係。但從身體的角度出發，這樣的觀念，應該從我們的大腦中徹底剝除。

為什麼？答案正如文章標題所說：產品好，不如習慣好。

這不是一句口號，而是一種實踐的證明，一項超越科學的實證課題，需要那些真正熟練身體之道的人來回答。那不是技巧，而是一種深度、一種熟練，唯有從身體的立場，才能看見更遠的目標。

正如另一篇文章的標題：「用腦學，不如用心學」，習慣以大腦主導的人，難以真正走進身體的智慧世界，自然也不會培養出與身體同行的習慣。

對現代人來說，斷食與菌相重建已成為最重要的養生功課。產品的優劣並非重點，重點是：我們是否培養了限時飲食的習慣，是否讓身體的大自然節奏成為唯一的療癒力量。

我們是何其幸運，在這個極度遠離身體本能的時代，仍有機會走出一條信任身體的路，並練就尊重身體的習慣。

 

（你有好習慣，時間便是你的盟友。）

 

A Good Product Is No Match for a Good Habit

Clothes in the wardrobe, books on the shelf, shoes in the cabinet, food in the fridge, and jars and bottles on the vanity—each of us has, at some moment, quietly asked ourselves:
“Why did I ever buy all these things I rarely, if ever, use?”

The impulse to consume in that moment stands in stark contrast to the rational reflection of this moment. We often assume that our current selves are more rational than our past selves. Yet, reality shows that we continue to make irrational purchases even when we believe we are being rational.

If we revisit our mindset at the moment of purchase—were we trying to show off our financial capacity? Being polite? Succumbing to sales tactics? Or did we truly need what we were buying? Time has a way of slowly revealing the true motivation.

Our lives are filled with high-end products we cannot afford. But sometimes, not being able to afford something is a kind of protection. The lack of means saves us from impulse and forces us into caution. Rationality doesn’t always come from self-discipline—it sometimes comes from financial limits.

I once indulged in collecting music obsessively, only to realize that no one should sacrifice financial discipline for the sake of desire. If collecting begins to erode the structure of your life, then the pleasure it brings is too expensive.

Whether or not a purchase is rational doesn’t depend on affordability—it depends on clarity of motivation. Many impulsive purchases arise not from need, but from the ability to borrow or delay payment. In hindsight, the answers eventually become clear within us.

Take high-ticket items like cars and houses as an example. My experience has taught me: credit can be used, but it should never become a long-term burden—especially not one that affects your health.

Before buying a car, one should arrange proper parking and cultivate good driving habits, as the lifespan of a car is often shaped by the driver’s mindset and care.
I once kept a ten-year-old car in nearly-new condition, while my son managed to turn a ten-year-old car into scrap metal. Truth is, every car I’ve owned was only passed on after more than a decade of use.

Talking about consumption naturally leads us to consider motivation and habit. And globally, the largest consumer market is centered around food—both meals and medication.

The motivation to eat is complex. Heavily processed, flavored, and preserved foods trigger a desire to keep eating. The same goes for medicine: habits, dependencies, and impulses are deeply embedded in our behavior.

Many long-term medication users suffer from declining health—not just physically, but mentally. Their lives are controlled by products, and so are their minds. Being unable to stop medication isn’t just a personal issue—it’s a social phenomenon where certain ideas control the thinking of many.

My profession spans across the health product and supplement industries. The market is so vast that many professionals devote their entire careers to promoting a single brand. But what makes this industry harsh is the high substitutability of products—leading to relentless competition and comparison.

Before I turned fully to educating the “Way of the Body,” I had close encounters with major nutrition brands and vitamin retailers. And yet, I began to sense a gap between these products and the true essence of health.

In many of those professionals, I saw a reality: business tactics had overtaken inner principles. Before truly understanding the essence of well-being, I had an instinctive aversion to manipulative sales language and cutthroat competition.

When a certain fermented drink was marketed as a fasting aid, my first concern was whether its role in the body could be replaced by something more fundamental. If the product cannot avoid market competition, then its path to acceptance is bound to be difficult.

Eventually, I came to a realization: beyond nutrition, what truly nourishes is vitality.
The question is—how do we educate people to see that? That has been the core challenge of my work for years, especially in a market driven so heavily by business logic.

Over a decade ago, I began promoting the idea of “fasting as a way of life.” I knew it wasn’t just about personal choice—it required a transformation of the surrounding environment. And by “environment,” I mean a community of people who share a core philosophy, living and practicing together.

Since then, a subtle but profound paradigm shift unfolded within me. From the body’s perspective, I finally saw how the brain-centric worldview had deeply delayed our understanding and practice of health.

This realization wasn’t something I actively sought—it was a gift from life itself. I understand now why few can accept such a shift: it runs against the grain of how we’ve been taught to think and live.

Yet, more than ten years of practice have proven that this path is viable. With perseverance, insight continues to emerge.

Even though vitality supplements may come in the form of products, I believe they are irreplaceable. They can be tested and verified, yes—but still require business mechanisms to sustain. My mission, however, is to place education above commerce, to shift from a product-oriented mindset to a habit-centered philosophy.

“Products don’t create health.”
Many may find this hard to accept. Most people are conditioned to believe in a linear relationship between a product and its effect. But from the body’s perspective, this mindset must be cleared from the brain entirely.

Why? The answer is in the title:
A Good Product Is No Match for a Good Habit.

This isn’t a slogan—it’s a lived truth, an evidence-based insight that transcends science, and one that only those who truly understand the way of the body can answer. It’s not about technique; it’s about depth. Only from the body’s standpoint can we see further and clearer.

As I wrote elsewhere: “Learning with the brain pales in comparison to learning with the heart.” Those who habitually think from the head find it hard to enter the world of bodily wisdom, and without that, they cannot cultivate the kind of habits that truly align with the body.

Today, fasting and microbiome reconstruction are among the most urgent lessons in self-care. The quality of a product is secondary. What matters is whether we’ve developed the habit of Time-Restricted Eating, and whether we’ve allowed the natural rhythms of the body to become our primary healing force.

How fortunate we are, in this era so estranged from bodily intuition, to still have the chance to walk a path of trusting the body—and to cultivate habits that honor it.
