Drinking coffee is a popular habit in America, with over 70% of adults enjoying it weekly. Recent research highlights that the timing of coffee consumption can significantly impact health. A new study published in the European Heart Journal reveals that drinking coffee mainly in the morning may lead to better health outcomes compared to consuming it throughout the day. The study analyzed data from various sources, tracking the health of thousands of participants over a decade.
• Participants who drank coffee in the morning had a 16% lower risk of death compared to non-drinkers.
• Morning coffee drinkers were 31% less likely to die from cardiovascular disease.
• Drinking coffee throughout the day did not provide any health benefits.
• Increased coffee intake in the morning further lowered the risk of death.
Understanding the reasons behind these findings is still a work in progress. Researchers suggest that morning coffee aligns better with the body’s natural rhythms, potentially reducing inflammation and supporting heart health. This study emphasizes the importance of not just what we consume, but when we consume it.
