Evidence from laboratory studies opinionated, that regular drinking of green tea improved bone health and reduced the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Bone health is measured by bone mineral density which has a direct influence on the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Green tea, a precious drink processes a number of health benefits known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine, or food, long-term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, inducing "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weakened immunity and painful cases of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory. But adding a slice of ginger will benign the problem.
According to the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, green tea lovers have a reduced risk of lower bone mineral density due to its bioactive components with bone-protective properties.
The study also found that regular green tea drinking promotes bone health in bone mineral loss menopausal women through increased bone mass, thus reducing the risk of osteoporosis, a common disease in the aging population.
Furthermore, the intake of green also protected the early onset of bone mineral loss in obese subjects.
Another study conducted by the same group of researchers also stated the bone density protective effect of green tea may involve the bioactive components' effects in decreasing the risk of fracture by supporting osteoblastic activities while suppressing osteoclastic activities as well as attenuating oxidative stress in promoting healthy levels of bone mineral density.
In the postmenopausal osteopenic women study, green tea with an optimized dose of polyphenols showed an enhanced osteoprotective efficacy in improved bone mass, microarchitecture integrity, and bone strength observed through the advanced imaging technology.
Dr, Shen CL, the lead author in the studies said, " Tea polyphenols enhance osteoblastogenesis and suppress osteoclastogenesis in vitro" and "Animal studies reveal that intake of tea polyphenols have pronounced positive effects on bone as shown by higher bone mass and trabecular bone volume, number, and thickness and lower trabecular separation via increasing bone formation and inhibition of bone resorption, resulting in greater bone strength".
Promisingly, in a total study of 171 postmenopausal osteopenic women to compare the efficacy of green tea polyphenols (GTP) supplement and/or Tai Chi in the risk of osteoporosis, randomly assigned to four groups: (1) placebo (500 mg starch/day), (2) GTP (500 mg GTP/day), (3) placebo + TC (placebo plus TC training at 60 min/session, three sessions/week), and (4) GTP + TC (GTP plus TC training).for 6 months, intake of green and tai chi exercise groups increased bone-specific alkaline phosphatase(bone protective glycoprotein found on the surface of osteoblasts) and improved BAP/(tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, osteoclast increased risk of bone turnover)/TRAP ratio.
Additionally, the group that received green tea showed significantly improved muscle strength in postmenopausal women with osteopenia.
Taken together, green tea may be served as a functional food to protect bone mineral density in all people with/ without risk of osteoporosis.
