Tea Boosts Bones Coffee May Weaken Them | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A decade-long study of nearly 10,000 women over 65 reveals tea may gently boost hip bone density, while chugging more than five cups of coffee daily could weaken bones. Published in Nutrients, the research highlights how compounds in tea—like catechins—might support bone formation, while caffeine in coffee may hinder calcium absorption, though milk could help. Moderate coffee? Fine. But heavy coffee, especially with alcohol, might not be bone-friendly. Small changes matter: a cup of tea could offer a subtle edge, and cutting back on excessive coffee might be wise for older women’s bone health.
