Drinking coffee in the morning is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and overall mortality compared to drinking coffee all day, according to a comprehensive study published in the Heart Journal.

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.

Moderate morning coffee consumption may lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risks, but coffee consumed throughout the day offers no similar benefits.

The timing of coffee consumption may influence your risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease or any cause, a new study has found.

A decade-long study tracking 40,000 people in the US appears to suggest that the time of day people drink coffee has an impact on their health and likelihood of dying from heart disease

A new study published Jan. 8 in the European Heart Journal found that people who drank coffee exclusively in the morning had a lower risk of dying of any cause, including cardiovascular disease, when compared to all-day coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers.
