Photos of kids from around the world and their weekly food choices.

In the face of rising global obesity, photographer Gregg Segal traveled around the world to ask kids what they eat in one week and then photographed them alongside the food.

In an 8×8 aluminum hut on a construction site outside Mumbai, Anchal Sahni sits down to dinner with her family: homemade aloo bhindo (okra and potatoes simmered in curry) and chapati (flatbread) with a side of lentils. Anchal has a healthier diet than many middle-class kids in India, who can afford to eat out. In Mumbai, a medium Domino's pizza runs 13 bucks-about three times what Anchal's father earns in a day.

Sensing a sea change in Western attitudes about diet and the effects of junk food, fast food companies have begun investing heavily in foreign markets where public awareness isn't as keen-and where Big Macs aren't junk, they're a status symbol.

In 2015, Cambridge University conducted an exhaustive study, identifying countries with the healthiest diets in the world. Nine of the top 10 countries are in Africa, where vegetables, fruit, nuts, legumes, grains are staples and meals are homemade, a stark contrast to the U.S., where nearly 60% of the calories we consume come from ultra-processed foods and only 1% come from vegetables.

For the past two years, I've been making my way around the world, asking kids to keep a journal of everything they eat in a week. Once the week is up, I make a portrait of the child with the food arranged around them. I'm focusing on kids because eating habits, which form when we're young, last a lifetime and often pave the way to chronic health problems like diabetes, heart disease and colon cancer.

Despite growing awareness here in the U.S. about the harm of eating processed foods, awareness hasn't yet led to widespread change. Obesity rates are still soaring. Forty years ago, One out of 40 kids were obese. Today, 10 in 40 are. Since corn syrup came along, the incidence of diabetes has tripled. For the first time in many generations, life expectancy in America is declining and the main culprit is empty calories.

I've been encouraged to find regions and communities where slow food will never be displaced by junk food, where home cooked meals are the bedrock of family and culture, where love and pride are sensed in the aromas of broths, stews and curries. When the hand that stirs the pot is mom or dad, grandma or grandma, kids are healthier. The deeper goal of Daily Bread is to be a catalyst for change and link to a growing, grassroots community that is moving the needle on diet.

Lessons from the World's Blue Zones on shedding stress and living longer

# data[].attributes.body
13 simple lessons from various "Blue Zones" on how to live longer happier lives

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Stress is one of the leading causes of chronic inflammation. It also has direct links to major age-related health issues, from dementia to Alzheimer's disease.

Unlike most of the modern world who prefer to shed stress at the gym or the mall, residents in the blue zones turn to traditional down-to-earth practices to recharge and renew energy.

In an effort to dissect how centenarians make it past the age of 100, we have been studying the lifestyle habits of the longest-living, healthiest people in the world.

Keep reading for a glimpse of daily downshift routines practiced by Okinawans, Adventists, Ikarians, Sardinians, and Nicoyans.

is basically a Japanese Hawaii. Located a thousand miles away from Tokyo, this Pacific archipelago sits right on the exotic ground of the Ryukyu Islands. Okinawans are blessed with warmer climates year-round, allowing them to enjoy the island's palm trees and sugar-sand beaches as often as they'd like.

Residents are able to get plenty of sunshine year-round. This equips the body to naturally produce sufficient levels of vitamin D, leading to healthier and stronger bones. Senior Okinawans spend optimal amounts of time outside to soak up daily sunshine. In a 6-year study of 16,452 adults, researchers found that seasonal increases in sun time were associated with decreased emotional distress.

Okinawa's claim to fame is being called "home" by some of the longest-living people in the world. Dubbed "the land of immortals" by Chinese expeditions, these tiny islands have a reputation for extreme longevity. The people of Okinawa boast one of the highest life expectancy rates. Japanese people not only live longer, but they enjoy more disability-free years .

Less than ½ the rate of dementia

⅕ the rate of prostate and breast cancer

⅕ the rate of cardiovascular disease

Okinawans take many preventative measures to dodge disease altogether. Over the years, past generations have survived Chinese and Japanese domination, fatal acts of God, and a devastating world war.

The fact that they've endured so many hardships contributes to their friendly, yet prideful attitude. Older Okinawans believe in letting the past be the past and focusing on the present. They're very likable, laid back, and closely in touch with their spirituality. They also enjoy the company of their younger neighbors.

Ancestors are treated with the highest regard, and the Okinawans go out of their way to maintain a close connection with them. Some take time each day to pay their respects.

Okinawans also make exceptional gardeners. Nearly all centenarians in Okinawa have grown gardens of their own, or have picked up gardening as a hobby. Many of their morning routines start with tending to the fields and arriving home in the afternoons with fresh vegetables. Gardening requires a sufficient amount of physical activity, so it's a great way to get daily movement while also shedding stress.

Okinawans also believe in daily consumption of ginger, turmeric, and other herbs to fight off illnesses. Thus, planting a medicinal garden can give you the best of both worlds between gardening and herbalism.

Adventists

is a treasured find in Southern California, located 60 miles east of Los Angeles. It's known as America's "longevity oasis."

This American blue zone boasts a population of over 21,000 residents, mostly consisting of Seventh-Day Adventists.

Their diet keeps them in great shape also-physically and mentally. Adventists follow a clean, vegetarian diet that mainly consists of fruits, vegetables, and legumes. They drink sufficient amounts of water as well.

is famously known as the place where people forget to die. Located on the Eastern Aegean sea, residents on the famous Greek Island enjoy exceptional longevity. One in three residents live past the age of 90 , and making it to 100 comes as no surprise. One of their secrets to a long life? Well-managed stress.

Ikarians embrace mountain living, a big contributing factor to their lower stress levels. The longest-living centenarians on the islands were typically poor. As a result, they resorted to activities that got their minds off of life's daily pressures.

Their favorite activities also double as stress-relievers, including:

To Ikarians, naps aren't solely reserved for little kids. The entire village goes dead during the afternoon nap time.

Sardinians

is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, located 120 miles from mainland Italy. In Sardinia lies the village of Arzana. From 2000 on, Arzana has had a reputation for housing the highest percentage of centenarians in Italy. The key to their vitality has a lot to do with their methods of stress management.

Sardinian origins date back well over 14,000 years, around the time of the last ice age. They're known for having genetic distinctions compared to other parts of Europe. Local populations possess unique cultural characteristics that are unlike the rest of the country.

In most parts of the developed world, centenarian women outnumber men at a 4:1 ratio. The ratio is 1:1 on the island of Sardinia. Not surprisingly, it's a place where the world's longest-living men call home.

Their way of downshifting to stress less is funnier than others. There's no shortage of good laughs on the island, as most Sardinians are natural comedians. Residents love cracking jokes with their friends in the afternoons.

Sardinians also have strong family values, which play a role in their high life expectancy. Ask any Sardinian native about their family dynamics, and the likely response is that they're all loved and well-cared for. Members of a close-knit family tend to navigate life with less stress, and generally have a lowered risk of suicide and depression.

Younger family members love honoring their elders. Grandparents are the glue to the Sardinian family unit, always happy to lend support and words of wisdom. Their presence often results in their grandchildren leading longer, healthier lives as well.

is the Latin American blue zones region. The 80-mile peninsula sits right on the Pacific Coast of . With a relatively small population of 47,000 residents, Nicoyans tend to live past 100 years.

The roots of modern Nicoyans trace back to the indigenous Chorotega. Their ancestors' traditions included leading stress-free lives.

All Nicoyans have a plan de vida , or a reason to live. Centenarians who find success in this region have a strong sense of purpose. They find joy in contributing to the greater good and enjoy roles that make them feel useful. According to , purpose-driven individuals are more likely to live longer than their peers.

Hard work keeps their focus off of stress and on things that are bigger than them. Nicoyans like to get their hands dirty, so physical work, chores, and activities are right up their alleys. Residents spend a lot of time outside as a result, allowing them to get plenty of vitamin D.

At no surprise, their active lives are just as social. Centenarians in this blue zones region have well-built social networks. Frequent visits from their neighbors are normal.

Like centenarians in other blue zones regions, Nicoyans believe in putting family first. Most families remain in one household-even through adulthood. Parents, their children, and their parents typically live under one roof, allowing them to lean on each other and learn from each other in hard times.

For 10 days keep a mindful/meditation/reflection journal. 10 minutes per day for 10 days, students can: 1.  set a timer and sit quietly while reflecting on the day. 2. set a timer and journal for 10 mins, reflect on the day in writing. 3. find a guided meditation for 10 mins (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZToicYcHIOU). Record the date that each activity was completed and what it was. (All journaling can be private, there is no need to share, unless the student wants to.)

Case Study of the longevity on an island in Greece

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This tiny island's long history has been as rocky as its topography. The outcropping in the Aegean Sea has been the target of invasions by Persians, Romans and Turks, forcing its residents inland from the coasts. The result: An isolated culture rich in tradition, family values - and longevity.

Today, Ikarians are almost entirely free of dementia and some of the chronic diseases that plague Americans; one in three make it to their 90s. A combination of factors explain it, including geography, culture, diet, lifestyle and outlook. They enjoy strong red wine, late-night domino games and a relaxed pace of life that ignores clocks. Clean air, warm breezes and rugged terrain draw them outdoors into an active lifestyle.

Read more below about the lessons that Ikaria can teach you about longevity.

Videos From Ikaria, Greece

Ikarians have woven the recipe for longevity into their culture and lifestyle. Follow these common practices to cultivate your own centenarian lifestyle.

The longest-lived Ikarians tended to be poor people living in the island's highlands. They exercised mindlessly by just gardening, walking to their neighbors house or doing their own yard work. The lesson to us: Engineer more mindless movement into our lives.

Eat a Mediterranean-style diet

Ikarians eat a variation of the Mediterranean diet, with lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, potatoes and olive oil.

Try cooking with olive oil, which contains cholesterol-lowering mono-unsaturated fats.

People in Ikaria enjoy drinking herbal teas with family and friends, and scientists have found that they pack an antioxidant punch. Wild rosemary, sage and oregano teas also act as a diuretic, which can keep blood pressure in check by ridding the body of excess sodium and water.

Take a cue from Ikarians and take a midafternoon break. People who nap regularly have up to 35 percent lower chances of dying from heart disease. It may be because napping lowers stress hormones or rests the heart.

Ikarians have traditionally been fierce Greek Orthodox Christians. Their religious calendar called for fasting almost half the year. Caloric restriction - a type of fasting that cuts about 30 percent of calories out of the normal diet - is the only proven way to slow the aging process in mammals.

Make family and friends a priority

Ikarians foster social connections, which have been shown to benefit overall health and longevity. So get out there and make some plans.

Choose goat's milk over cow's milk

Instead of cow's milk, Ikarians use grass-fed goat's milk. It provides potassium and the stress-relieving hormone tryptophan. It's also hypoallergenic and can usually be tolerated by people who are lactose intolerant.

What have we learned?

Eating a healthy diet, being part of a close-knit community, having access to a strong healthcare system, and even drinking a little bit of wine are all key to a longer life.

It seems like certain diets - usually high in fruit, veg, and fish - work better than others. And as for exercise? You might well be better off going for a walk in the park, rather than a sweaty workout in the gym!

Ultimately, people need support. Whether it's from family, friends, the government, or your healthcare provider, a good support system should help add on a few years to your life.
