Drinking coffee in the morning may have more benefits than other times of the day, even significantly reducing the risk of death.

There have been many studies focusing on the role of coffee in cardiovascular health and longevity, but few people know that the time of coffee consumption can also greatly affect these benefits.

Recently, a study published in the European Heart Journal analyzed health data from more than 42,000 adults in the US, to investigate the relationship between the time of coffee consumption and mortality rates, according to the Independent newspaper.

Specifically, the study led by experts from Tulane University (USA) classified coffee drinkers into two main groups: the group that drank coffee in the morning (from 4 am to 11:59 am) and the group that drank coffee all day (including morning, afternoon and evening).

The results showed that people who drank coffee in the morning had significantly lower rates of death from cardiovascular disease and other causes than those who drank coffee all day or did not drink coffee. This suggests that drinking coffee in the morning may help reduce the risk of death and prolong life.

Explaining the reason for this result, the researchers said that drinking coffee in the afternoon or evening may disrupt circadian rhythms and hormone levels (such as melatonin). This leads to an increase in risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as inflammation and blood pressure.

However, these experts also said that more research is needed to further explore the effects of coffee on health and confirm these results in diverse populations. Moderate and timely coffee consumption may be just one part of a strategy to maintain health and prolong life.
