Tea and coffee – how much do they affect your health?

Are you a coffee or tea addict? Do you struggle to get through your day without your caffeine fix?

If you can’t cope without a cuppa or two, could this have any effect on your health and, in particular, on your menopausal symptoms?

In the Winter 2019-20 issue of The Menopause Exchange newsletter, registered dietitian Angie Jefferson explores the pros and cons of tea and coffee drinking. How much coffee should we be drinking – and what’s the best way to drink it? And is drinking tea any better for our health?

“Media reports can be very conflicting, so it’s hard to know how much our tea and coffee intake is affecting how we feel,” says Norma Goldman, founder and director of The Menopause Exchange.

“In her article, Angie Jefferson provides us with the facts and also takes a look at the impact of drinking coffee on hot flushes.”

The Menopause Exchange, established in 1999, is completely independent and isn't  sponsored by any companies. It provides impartial, easily understood information to women and healthcare professionals. The Menopause Exchange quarterly newsletter contains articles written by top medical experts, such as gynaecologists, GPs, consultants, specialist menopause nurses, complementary practitioners, pharmacists, dietitians etc.

Articles in the Winter 2019-20 issue of The Menopause Exchange quarterly newsletter include progesterone in HRT, CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) for the menopause and diabetes and the menopause, as well as news and Ask the Experts Q&As.

The Menopause Exchange has a number of members who are happy to talk to journalists about their menopause experiences. The members are based in different parts of the UK, which may be of interest to regional publications as well as national ones. Many of the case studies are willing to provide a name and photograph, if required.
