Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Drinking coffee is not only related to\ntaste and energy boost, but also has a connection with longevity. The\ntime of coffee consumption is said to affect how much of its health\nbenefits are realised.<\/p>\n
A recent study published in the European Heart Journal found that\nconsuming coffee in the morning is associated with a lower risk of death\nfrom heart disease.<\/p>\n
Although the exact mechanism is not yet fully understood, researchers\nsuspect that consuming coffee in the afternoon or evening may disrupt\nthe body\u2019s circadian rhythm or biological clock, potentially reducing\nits health benefits.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first study to evaluate the pattern of coffee\nconsumption timing and its impact on health,\u201d said the lead researcher\nand Director of the Center for Obesity Research at Tulane University,\nNew Orleans, Dr.\u00a0Lu Qi, as quoted by CNN International, Thursday\n(5\/6\/2025).<\/p>\n
In this study, the researchers compared two patterns of coffee\nconsumption, namely only in the morning and throughout the day.<\/p>\n
The results showed that compared to people who did not drink coffee\nat all, those who only drank coffee in the morning had a 16% lower risk\nof early death from various causes. Meanwhile, the risk of death from\ncardiovascular disease was 31% lower.<\/p>\n
In contrast, those who drank coffee throughout the day did not show a\nsimilar reduction in risk.<\/p>\n
The findings remained consistent even after the researchers had taken\ninto account various other factors such as sleep patterns, age, gender,\nrace, ethnicity, income, education level, physical activity, diet\nquality, as well as health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension,\nand high cholesterol.<\/p>\n
In addition, both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee still provide\nsimilar benefits for morning drinkers.<\/p>\n
However, it is important to remember that this study is\nobservational. This means that the study cannot fully prove the\ncause-and-effect relationship.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis study is observational, not an experiment which is the gold\nstandard,\u201d said a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the Academy\nof Nutrition and Dietetics, who was not involved in the study, Vanessa\nKing, via email.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/best-time-to-drink-coffee-to-prevent-premature-death-according-to-a-study-1780614569", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
