Black tea and calcium. What a strange combination! More common is honey and tea,
sugar and tea, cream and tea…but calcium and tea? Vancouver Disc Centers admires this
new mixture for the potential protection of bone. (Chiropractors and their osteoporotic patients all over can appreciate that!) Plus, black tea is
advantageous for many other conditions.
A new article in the Journal of Osteoporosis just came across the desk here at Vancouver Disc Centers. It touts the benefit of black tea
extract as an everyday, simple treatment for osteoporosis. The black tea
extract seems a capable additional therapy for
calcium supplements in the early stage of menopausal bone changes. (1) So sip some tea with a bit of your
favorite taste enhancer. It’s a good thing for you!
Black tea has been relished for
years. Its positive potential uses include mental alertness improvement and
learning, memory and information processing. Headache treatment, low blood
pressure, heart disease and certain cancers (breast, ovarian, lunch, colon,
stomach) prevention and even for kidney stone and tooth decay prevention are
among the conditions people turn to black tea for more than its taste!

Black teas’ 2% to 4% caffeine and antioxidant
content make it a healthy drink that your Vancouver chiropractor would
recommend for most patients. We look forward to seeing you at your next
Vancouver chiropractic appointment and hearing about your preferred black
tea combination...and treating any back pain or neck pain you may have! Contact Vancouver Disc Centers now.
