Eating Well at Our Deforest Senior Living Community–The senior population is often the most vulnerable to illnesses and diseases. They are more susceptible to the common flu, and chronic diseases are always a concern among the senior living community in DeForest. However, the importance of socialization among the seniors at our Deforest senior living facility is crucial for their health.
One of the best ways for seniors to stay engaged with each other is through food. It brings them together, gives them time to talk to one another, and encourages more food intake. Food intake for the residents at our senior living community in DeForest helps them maintain a healthy weight, keep their immune systems strong, and make their overall health better.
Our Deforest senior living community wants to share these statistics with you:
- Eating “socially” has a powerful effect on increasing food intake. Studies found that those eating with others ate up to 48% more food than solo diners.
- Some studies have correlated eating alone with poorer dining habits than eating socially!
- The National Academy of Medicine found that 80-90% of the contributors to healthy medical outcomes could potentially be attributed to social factors.
- 70% of senior living prospects are willing or would prefer to eat a meal with new acquaintances rather than alone.
- 59% of prospects who self-reported their health to be “good to excellent” also agreed they were a “people-person.”
