Coffee vs tea for bone health

Studies indicate that drinking tea may be associated with increased hip bone density and a reduced risk of osteoporosis and fractures in postmenopausal women, thanks to its content of antioxidants such as polyphenols. Conversely, moderate coffee consumption is considered safe; however, excessive intake of more than five cups daily might decrease bone density and be linked to some deterioration in bone health. Although research findings suggest that tea may offer a modest benefit in supporting bone health, experts warn against relying on it entirely, emphasizing that other factors—such as exercise, calcium intake, vitamin D, and avoiding smoking and alcohol—are of greater importance in maintaining healthy bones.
