Postmenopausal women and coffee's effect on bones
A recent Australian study shows that excessive coffee consumption after menopause may lead to decreased bone density in older women, especially when drinking more than five cups per day. In contrast, tea intake has been linked to increased bone density in the hip area. The findings explained that coffee contains caffeine, which may negatively affect calcium absorption, while tea contains catechin compounds that support bone formation and reduce bone breakdown. This makes tea a better choice for maintaining bone health after menopause. The study also indicated that moderate consumption of these beverages offers benefits without clear risks, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and physical activity to strengthen bones.
