Overview

• 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.
