Tea or Coffee After 60? Bone Health Impact

Tea or Coffee After 60? Bone Health Impact

A new study looked at how drinking tea or coffee affects bone strength in older women.

They found that women who drink tea regularly have slightly stronger hip bones.

But women who drink more than five cups of coffee a day might have weaker bones, especially if they also drink alcohol.

The study suggests that drinking tea in moderation could help keep bones strong, while drinking too much coffee might not be good for bone health.

Experts say it's important to consider these habits as part of a bigger plan for bone health, including eating enough calcium and vitamin D, exercising, and preventing falls.

The study mostly looked at White women, so more research is needed for other groups.
