A recent study showed that morning coffee drinkers had a 12% lower risk of all-cause mortality and a 31% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease over a 10-year period. This benefit was specific to morning coffee drinkers, as no similar protective effects were observed when coffee was consumed in the afternoon or evening. Moderate coffee consumption stood out as being most beneficial for reducing all-cause mortality among morning drinkers: - 1–2 cups per day was associated with a 16% lower risk - 2–3 cups per day was associated with a 28% lower risk - 3+ cups per day was associated with a 21% lower risk There were no additional benefits associated with "all-day" coffee drinking, which was defined as drinking coffee in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Even though morning intake was uniquely protective, higher coffee consumption—regardless of timing—was linked to a 14–19% lower all-cause mortality risk and an even greater 28–40% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. While this study can't prove causation, there appears to be a health benefit associated with enjoying this beverage early in the day that might relate to the unique polyphenols, motivation to exercise, better sleep, or resetting circadian rhythms.
