Drinking coffee in the morning may significantly lower the risk of death, particularly from heart disease, compared to consuming it throughout the day or not at all. A recent study analyzed data from over 40,000 adults to explore how coffee consumption timing affects long-term health. The research indicates that not just the amount of coffee consumed, but also when it is consumed, plays a crucial role in health outcomes.
• Morning coffee drinkers had a 16% lower risk of death overall and a 31% lower risk of dying from heart disease compared to non-coffee drinkers.
• Drinking coffee throughout the day did not show a significant reduction in death risk.
• Higher coffee consumption in the morning was linked to progressively lower risks of death.
• The study suggests that coffee timing may influence inflammation and circadian rhythms, impacting health.
These findings highlight the importance of coffee consumption timing as a potential factor in promoting better health. Understanding how when we drink coffee affects our bodies could lead to more effective health recommendations and improve overall well-being.
