A recent study suggests tea may slightly benefit bone mineral density more than coffee, especially at the hip, but the differences are small. Moderate coffee consumption (2-3 cups daily) is generally safe for bones, while drinking five or more cups may negatively impact bone health. Maintaining strong bones also involves a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, regular resistance exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol. Overall, moderation in coffee intake and a healthy lifestyle are key to supporting bone health.
