Morning Coffee Linked to Longer Lifespan

Recent research published in the European Heart Journal indicates that the timing of coffee consumption significantly affects health outcomes. The study, involving over 40,000 American adults, reveals that those who drink coffee exclusively in the morning have a 16% lower risk of death from all causes and a 31% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease compared to non-coffee drinkers. In contrast, individuals who consume coffee throughout the day do not experience the same health benefits. The findings suggest that moderate to heavy morning coffee drinkers enjoy these protective effects, while light drinkers see diminished benefits. Lead researcher Dr. Lu Qi highlighted that this study is the first to focus on the timing of coffee consumption and its health implications. These insights underscore the importance of not only how much coffee is consumed, but also when it is consumed.
