24th December, 2007: Milk Is Not The Only Drink That Builds Strong Bones - Try A Cup Of Tea
A recent article in the Washington Post states that drinking tea may actually benefit your bones. According to Australian lead researcher, Amanda Devine, “Those who drank tea in the study had a higher bone density over the four years that they were studied. These women lost less bone than those who did not drink tea. More than three-quarters of the women drank tea daily, and they consumed an average of about three cups per day.” In particular, bone density at the hip was found to improve among elderly women 70 to 85 years old.
From now on, when you cozy up with a cup of tea to warm your bones, relish the thought that you may be strengthening them at the same time.
