Seniors Keep Smiling With A Healthy Diet Of FlowersCopyright © 2006-2008 Wesley Berry, AAFEat flowers? You're probably thinking that's crazy! Actually, it's not-there are some varieties of edible flowers, but that's not really what I mean. I mean to say that seniors who receive flowers as gifts are happier than those who don't. It's a proven fact! A study conducted in 2001 at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, showed that flowers helped seniors to feel less depressed, kept their memories fresher, and inspired the to seek out connection with friends and family. The study involved over 100 senior citizens, some of whom received flowers, and some who did not. The results of the study were as follows: This study is great news since our population is aging every day. As a matter of fact, there are 40 million senior citizens in the United States today. With numbers like that, I doubt that there's a single person reading this article who isn't either a senior citizen themselves or who doesn't have a loved one who is a senior citizen. And, naturally, we want to live longer and we want those we love to live longer. We also want to be happy as we age. Flowers are a very simple way to do that. Dr. Jeannette Haviland-Jones, who led this important study, states, "Happier people live longer, healthier lives and are more open to change. Our research shows that a small dose of nature, like flowers, can do a world of wonder for our well-being as we age." There's really no easier way to make an enormous difference in your loved one's day than to pick up the phone or stop by the florist and send a gift of flowers. You don't even need a special occasion to do so-very often the best reason to send flowers is just because you care. Your florist can help you choose the perfect flowers for anyone in your life-your grandmother, your grandfather, your aunt, your elderly neighbor-ANYONE! You can send a gift of flowers without ever leaving your desk. Just pick up the phone and give your florist some idea of who the flowers are for (male, female, relative, etc.), what you'd like to express with the flowers, your price range, and a little about the person's personality and favorite colors. Your florist will do the rest. About The Author:
