Good Food for Good Health

The Espers of Earth were the most familiar with food production. Their Element, Earth, was perfectly suited for it, as rich soils are the foundation of good food. They were also known for their robust health, so the connection between good food and good health was quickly understood by them.

And for good reason! Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, and Kenko, the Shape of Health, worked together to explore the relationship between food and well-being.

Who could have known, thousands of years ago—when knowledge was far less developed than it is now on Esperia—that what you consume could make you healthier?

Poisonous or harmful food was far easier to recognize. With the instinct to survive, and the fact that bad experiences are learned far faster, it was simple to detect that certain foods could be dangerous.

But that good food brought good health? That was not so evident.

Vati and Kenko enlisted the help of Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, to spread this idea: being conscious of what you eat can help you become healthier.

“Good food for good health, and for a brighter StarDust!” became a leitmotif, known far and wide across Esperia.

    A Saving Smile

    The Espers of the element of Wind had naturally understood that a smile held something unique.

However, this smile must be sincere, and not just a trick meant to take advantage of the kindness of others. It is

    Life Is Full of Detours

    The revelation, in the eyes of all, of the presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was of major importance in the principles that followed to rebuild Esperia on new foundations, by virtue of the StarDust that slumbers within every Esper on the planet. Some, however, did not understand this notion:“Wouldn’t it be a boring

    Life is Ephemeral

    The recognition of this principle had allowed Esperia to be rebuilt on fairer foundations for all. Remembering daily the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, was a way for the Espers to remind themselves that life was ephemeral, allowing them to appreciate not only their own existence more intensely, but also the lives of

    In Good Health

    If the concept of the five elements often seemed rather abstract at first for young Espers, the element of Earth was certainly the easiest for them to understand first. Indeed, an Esper in good health is immediately noticeable among others: a more athletic body, neither too thin, showing a lack of physical exercise, nor too

    Diversity of Opinions

    The Great Library of Esperia had become a life-sized example of what a civilization built on values shared by all could become, regardless of their main element or their origin. It would have been unimaginable just a few years earlier to see the Espers of the five different elements unite for a single common cause:
