Background and Purpose: There are detailed scientific rules in Iranian Medicine on the health of people in different conditions. One of the important principles is strategic rule of protecting the health with homologous and treatment with contrasting whereby there are different opinions among physicians. Also, different interpretations are represented in this field at present. We intend to present different opinions of physicians about this strategic rule, and then, to describe them.  Finally, the most correct theories will be explained with regard to the principles of Traditional Medicine.
Methods and Materials: The valid sources of Iranian Traditional Medicine such as Qanoon, Kholaseh al-hekmah, Mofarrah al-Qoloob, etc have been studied. Then issues related to health in different conditions such as different temperament were investigated. Also, related literature was investigated by Noor software and key words such as keep healthy, like, similar, opposite were searched. Finally the findings were analyzed, and also, the similarities and differences were discussed.
Results: There are two viewpoints in keeping health as the like especially in the field of nutrition. The first viewpoint is to keep health as the like is achieved when the food before entering into the body has its temperament similar to his/her body in healthy situation. Another viewpoint suggests that keeping health as the like is achieved after the entry of food into the body. So it is influenced by some factors such as liver and digestive system. Finally the resulting humor must be similar to his/her temperament
Conclusion: According to the principles of Traditional Medicine, the findings indicated that perfect health means keep health as the like and deviation of personal nature balance means keep health as the opposite.
