Osteoporosis: 3 cups of tea to reduce fractures
Australian researchers have found that drinking tea can reduce osteoporosis-related bone fractures by 30%. Of course, these researchers have also determined the type of tea, which you can read below.
Unfortunately, the silent disease of osteoporosis has affected many. As you probably know, these people are also more prone to bone fractures and should take precautions to deal with falls and take care of their bones.
Recently, researchers have concluded that the type of tea consumed can be effective in preventing bone fractures caused by osteoporosis. This type of tea is the same black tea that we consume daily.
According to researchers at Flinder University in Australia, drinking 3 cups of black tea a day reduces the risk of osteoporotic fractures by 27%.
To achieve these results, the researchers studied the eating habits of 1,200 70-year-old women for about 10 years.
Each cup of black tea reduces the risk of fractures by 9%
During the study, 288 women participants suffered fractures, half of which were hip fractures.
The researchers found that people who did not have fractures were women who drank between 1 and 3 cups of black tea a day.
According to the researchers, each cup of tea further reduces the risk of these fractures by 9%; Of course, up to three cups is not more.
These researchers believe that black tea has an effective role in preventing this problem in the amount of flavonoids in this drink.
Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants found in most plants and prevent a variety of diseases. These antioxidants help strengthen bones in humans and prevent aging and osteoporosis.
Therefore, we recommend that if you suffer from osteoporosis or want to prevent it, do not eliminate black tea from your daily routine and try to absorb as many flavonoids as possible.
