Eat Until 80% Full

In a world where magic was abundant, where the limits of planetary resources were often misunderstood, and where reality was frequently concealed, healthy eating had also become a problem to solve.

This was the situation in which Esperia found itself during centuries of conflict between the Five elements.

The Earth element and its Espers were the closest to nature and understood best what good health truly meant. Rules of eating behavior were passed down like important traditions, and one of them was to limit oneself to eating until 80% full.

As the saying goes, “Eat until you are 80% full and you will not need a doctor.”

The importance of a balanced life for better health had now become easier for the other elements to understand as well, thanks to the presence of Kenko, the Shape of Health, and Atma, the Shape of Balance.

Both had worked together to spread this saying.

Everyone, in their own way, then had the duty to integrate this practice into their daily routine.

The Lightning Espers completely agreed and liked to say:
“Now that we know, it seems obvious. But if you do not know it, you cannot invent it.”

    The Shadow of Wisdom

    As for Wisdom, the Shadow within each of the Espers was no less present. On the contrary, when faced with difficult questions or complex problems, this Shadow would often avoid the real issue and instead answer something simpler, something it was capable of solving without effort. That was why the Espers sometimes behaved in contradictory…

    In a world of choices that seemed almost infinite, where overconsumption had been made possible by the abundance resulting from the use of magic, the Espers were overwhelmed by sensory stimuli and bombarded with information.

    The Shadow of Time

    The Shadow that resides within each Esper has the unfortunate tendency to prioritize short-term benefits for its host.

Instead of thinking about the long term, which is difficult and requires time, effort, and concentration, their Shadow prefers the lure of an…
