According to Daily Mail on November 5, a study involving 1,200 women aged 70, conducted by experts from Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, Royal Perth Hospital, and Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, tracked the tea-drinking habits of the study group.
The research results showed that over a 10-year period, women who drank more than 3 cups of black tea per day had a 30% lower risk of bone fractures than those who drank less than one cup per week.
According to the researchers, with each cup of tea per day, women can reduce their risk of bone fractures by about 9%.
Researcher Jonathan Hodgson said: “Nutrition plays a role in osteoporosis and fracture prevention. There is no evidence that flavonoid-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and tea are related to bone loss and fractures, but flavonoids are associated with a reduced risk of fractures in older women.”
The study was published in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition (USA).
