Morning Coffee Linked to Lower Risk of Death and Heart Disease

New research suggests that drinking coffee in the morning offers significant health benefits compared to consuming it throughout the day.

A study of over 40,000 adults found that morning coffee drinkers had a 16% lower risk of death from any cause and a 31% reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease compared to non-coffee drinkers.
No significant reduction in mortality was observed for individuals who drank coffee throughout the day or in the afternoon and evening.
Researchers speculate that drinking coffee later in the day may disrupt circadian rhythms and melatonin production, negatively impacting heart health.
The study highlighted that moderate morning coffee consumption, around two to three cups, provided the most pronounced health benefits.
While the findings are observational and do not establish causation, experts suggest further clinical trials to explore the impact of coffee timing on health outcomes.
