Morning Coffee: A Heart-Healthy Habit

A comprehensive study by researchers at Tulane University, published in the European Heart Journal (Wang X, et.al., 2025), analyzed data from over 40,000 U.S. adults spanning nearly two decades. The findings revealed that individuals who consumed coffee exclusively in the morning (between 4 a.m. and noon) experienced significant health benefits:

  • 16% lower risk of death from any cause
  • 31% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease

These associations held true regardless of whether the coffee was caffeinated or decaffeinated and were independent of other factors such as age, diet, sleep patterns, and physical activity.

All-Day Coffee Drinking: No Added Advantage

In contrast, participants who sipped coffee throughout the day did not exhibit these health benefits. Their mortality risks were comparable to those who didn't consume coffee at all.

Why Timing Matters

Researchers suggest that consuming coffee in the morning aligns better with the body's natural circadian rhythms. Drinking coffee later in the day may disrupt sleep patterns and hormonal balances, such as melatonin levels, potentially negating coffee's positive effects on inflammation and cardiovascular health.

✅ Key Takeaways

  • Optimal Timing: Enjoy your coffee between 4 a.m. and noon to maximize health benefits.
  • Quantity Matters: Drinking more than one cup per day in the morning is associated with greater reductions in mortality risk.
  • Type of Coffee: Both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee offer similar benefits when consumed in the morning.

Incorporating morning coffee into your daily routine could be a simple yet effective strategy to enhance heart health and longevity.
