Drink White or Green Tea for Bone Health

More good news for tea drinkers. A recent study has found that drinking tea--especially white or green--is good for the bones.

The research, which was published in the Journal of American College of Nutrition, found that regular tea drinkers had higher bone density in their hips than non-tea drinkers.

Additionally, tea drinkers lost less bone-mineral density than nondrinkers.

Researchers believe that the potent antioxidants, called catechin polyphenols, found in tea are responsible for the bone-boosting benefits.

White tea has the highest catechin concentration, followed by green tea. Black tea has the least amount.
