Are you a coffee enthusiast who can’t start their day without that first cup of joe in the morning? If that is you, you may be pleased to know that your morning habit could actually be beneficial to your health – according to a new study, those who drink coffee in the morning have lower risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality than those who consume coffee throughout their day or don’t drink any at all.

Researchers tracked nearly 40,000 adults over an approximate 10-year period as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They linked this information with death records to determine how coffee consumption affected their likelihood of dying from any cause or from cardiovascular-related causes, with reduced risks being seen with coffee drinking being linked with reduced risks of death but it should also be kept in mind that coffee acts as a diuretic and may contribute to dehydration.

Coffee can increase energy levels, aiding concentration and focus. But caffeine in coffee may cause jitters or cause blood pressure spikes. Therefore, consuming coffee with a balanced diet and using non-dairy milk and sugar substitutes as ways to limit calories may also be useful in managing effects.

Coffee not only boosts energy, but it can also improve mood by decreasing anxiety or depression during morning or midday slumps. Plus, coffee contains antioxidants known for their anti-ageing benefits!

Although it is generally safe to consume several cups of coffee a day, for optimal health it should be consumed on an empty stomach to prevent digestive issues and drinking it too late in the day can interfere with proper restful sleep which is essential to health and wellbeing.

Coffee can serve as a natural stimulant and help you lose weight by increasing metabolism and helping increase good cholesterol levels. Furthermore, it may reduce risk for type 2 diabetes while providing you with essential potassium supplementation – all helping prevent high blood pressure as well as stroke risk reduction and kidney stones.

But it is essential to keep in mind that coffee should not replace healthy breakfast and lunch options, nor become an addiction; overindulgence in coffee consumption can contribute to dehydration and lead to fatigue and sluggishness. Regular check-ups with your doctor or dietitian to monitor thyroid and vitamin D levels as well as ensure adequate quality sleep can help manage coffee intake effectively. If morning caffeine doesn’t seem like the fix for your fatigue issues, consider consulting them. They can help determine if there’s something else going wrong and recommend appropriate treatment plans based on medical diagnosis – they could recommend appropriate remedies and advise accordingly.
