Morning Coffee May Help You Live Longer, Re

In case you needs another reason to start your day with coffee, those who have a cup of joe in the morning have a lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and lower overall mortality risk compared to those who drink coffee throughout the day or don’t drink it at all.

Coffee drinking is widely acknowledged for its health benefits — everything from being linked to lower risk of type 2 diabetes to supporting heart health. On the other hand, it can also adversely affect sleep patterns and lead to feelings of agitation and anxiety.
Morning coffee vs. all-day coffee
The observational study involved more than 40,000 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and 1,463 adults from the Women’s and Men’s Lifestyle Validation Study.

Both surveys include health and lifestyle data for a cross section of adults in the United States, including questions about coffee and caffeine consumption.
Almost half of the participants (48%) were non-coffee drinkers, while the remaining participants were divided into two groups based on their coffee consumption pattern. About one-third of participants were “morning-type” coffee drinkers, meaning they consumed almost all coffee before noon, rarely consuming it in the afternoon or evening.

The second group, the “all-day-type” (۱۶% of participants), preferred to consume coffee spread throughout the day and into the evening.
Only the morning coffee group demonstrated significant risk reduction in all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease-related death.
Morning coffee linked to lower death risk
Over a nearly decade-long follow up period, researchers found that individuals who consumed their coffee in the morning had significantly lower risk of both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease-related death compared to non-coffee drinkers.

Compared to non-coffee drinkers, morning coffee drinkers had a 16% lower risk of all-cause mortality, while cardiovascular disease-related death risk decreased by 31%. There was no reduction in mortality risk for all-day coffee drinkers.
