A new study indicates that drinking coffee in the morning could be associated with a lower risk of premature death, particularly from cardiovascular disease. While the research doesn't definitively prove causation, it suggests a possible link between morning coffee consumption and improved heart health.
The time of day you drink a cup of coffee may lower the risk of an early death, new research suggests. The study found that people who drank coffee in the morning had a lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and had a lower mortality risk than all-day coffee consumers - but the research could not prove whether coffee was the sole cause. Dr.
Lu Qi, lead researcher and director of Tulane University Obesity Research Center, said while the study does not show why drinking coffee in the morning reduces the risk, one explanation could be that consumption later in the day may disrupt a person's internal body clock. Dr. Qi said further studies are needed to see if their findings could also be observed in other populations, adding: 'We need clinical trials to test the potential impact of changing the time of day when people drink coffee.' 'This study doesn't tell us why drinking coffee in the morning reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular disease,' he explained. 'A possible explanation is that consuming coffee in the afternoon or evening may disrupt circadian rhythms and levels of hormones such as melatonin. 'This, in turn, leads to changes in cardiovascular risk factors such as inflammation and blood pressure.' The researchers from Tulane University in New Orleans, looked at 40,725 adults who had taken part in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the US between 1999 and 2018. They were asked about their daily food and drink consumption, and whether they drank coffee, how much and when. 'Given the effects that caffeine has on our bodies, we wanted to see if the time of day when you drink coffee has any impact on heart health,' explained Dr. Qi. While past research has found moderate coffee drinking can have health benefits, this was the 'first study testing coffee drinking timing patterns and health outcomes', he added
