If you are a tea drinker, today we have brought you some really good news. There have been several studies that have stated the various benefits that come with drinking tea. Chinese researchers have now found an association between tea drinking and bone density. Now, while not much is known about the cause of the association, the research conducted by the School of Public Health with Peking University found that daily consumers of green tea and those who had drunk tea for more than 30 years have a lower rate of fractures.
As part of the study that included 453,625 people, the researchers have found that compared to those who do not drink tea, daily tea consumers have a 12 percent lower risk of fracture. And this holds true, especially for hip bone fracture.
Previous studies have also indicated an association between drinking tea and bone density among menopausal women. Li Liming, a professor who led the research said that this prospective study needs a more substantial sample analysis for more accurate results since other than improving bone density, tea drinking may affect other factors such as improving people's concentration and vigilance.
