JAKARTA - Studies showing a series of benefits from coffee have been widely published. Most recently, there was a study that showed the best time to drink coffee that allowed an increase in life expectancy.

The study was published in the European Heart Journal, with a team of researchers led by experts from Tulane University, United States (US). In the study it was found that coffee drinking time can be useful to make lifetime longer is in the morning.

To obtain these results, research involved 40 thousand participants. All participants were studied for their health, nutrition, and lifestyle.

Regarding the habit of drinking coffee, there are two different patterns of drinking coffee, namely drinking coffee before noon and drinking coffee throughout the day. More than a third of the participants (36 percent) are categorized as morning coffee warrants, while 14 percent are coffee warrants throughout the day.

Throughout the follow-up period of the study, 4,295 participants died. After seeing various factors, researchers found that 16 percent of the morning coffee warrants were less likely to die than those who did not drink coffee. Morning coffee drinkers are also 31 percent less likely to die from heart disease.

"Research has so far shown coffee drinking does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, and appears to lower the risk of some chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes," said lead researcher Lu Qi, quoted by The Independent, on Thursday, January 9, 2025.

Through this study, Lu Qi also explained that the reason for drinking coffee in the morning is the best time and can add to the life expectancy. This is because drinking coffee in the afternoon or evening can interfere with the rhythm of circadian and melatonin hormone levels, which are at risk for cardiovascular disease.

"This, in turn, causes changes to cardiovascular risk factors such as inflammation and blood pressure," concluded Lu Qi.
