A study involving over 85,000 adults indicates that not just exercising, but also the timing of workouts, impacts heart health. Those who exercised in the morning (8-11 a.m.) exhibited lower risks of heart disease and stroke compared to afternoon exercisers, with women benefiting the most. Morning exercisers had a 35% lower stroke risk and 24% lower coronary artery disease risk. The research hints at the concept of chronoactivity, aligning workouts with the body's internal clock, for enhanced heart health benefits.
Previous research has shown that, while night owls may be smarter than early birds, they are also at greater risk of depression and anxiety, as well as diabetes.
Gali Albalak, a PhD candidate at Leiden University Medical Center, stated, "It is well established that exercise is good for heart health, and our study now indicates that morning activity seems to be most beneficial."
