A new study suggests that drinking coffee in the morning may be associated with a lower risk of death and heart disease. The study, which involved over 40,000 adults in the US, found that those who drank coffee in the morning were 16% less likely to die overall and 31% less likely to die from heart disease compared to those who didn't drink coffee.
The research, published in the, says the time a coffee is consumed can make a big difference when it comes to heart health.

'It showed that drinking a moderate amount of coffee, in particular in the morning, may improve your heart health outcomes,' Heart Foundation spokesperson Natalie Raffoul said. It also showed that morning coffee drinkers were 31 percent less likely to die from heart disease, while there was no risk reduction for people who drank coffee all day. The study cited a few possible reasons for the difference in health benefits, saying an afternoon coffee could disrupt a person's body clock, reducing melatonin production, which is the hormone that regulates sleep. It also said the anti-inflammatory effects of coffee could be more profound when caffeine consumption is concentrated at the start of the day.The anti-inflammatory effects of coffee could be more profound when caffeine consumption is concentrated at the start of the day.

'It's always good to speak to your doctor about the right amount of caffeine for you, particularly if you have a heart condition,' she said. The study also showed a reduced risk for both moderate and heavy morning drinkers, but the heart foundation says the 'sweet spot' is two to three coffees a day.
