According to recent research including over 86,000 people, exercising in the morning is related with the lowest risk of heart disease and stroke.
Individuals who were most active at 8 a.m. or 10 a.m. had 11 percent and 16 percent reduced odds of incident coronary artery disease, respectively, as compared to those who were most active midday. At these times, women's risks were lowered by 22% and 24%, respectively.
Participants who were most active in the late morning had a 17% lower risk of stroke, whereas women who were more active in the late morning had a 35% lower risk.
The findings, which are based on data from the UK Biobank, were published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. They were also constant independent of individual daily exercise levels.
"It is widely documented that exercise is helpful for heart health, and our study now reveals that morning activity appears to be most beneficial," said co-author Gali Albalak of the Netherlands' Leiden University Medical Centre in a statement.
"The findings were more striking in women, and they applied to both early birds and night owls."
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality on a global scale. Its prevalence is predicted to climb as people become more sedentary and rates of diabetes and hypertension rise, according to the scientists.
The participants in the research ranged in age from 42 to 78, with the average being 62. Individuals did not have any cardiovascular illness at the time of enrollment, although they were overweight on average, and almost 60% were women.
Participants wore a wrist monitor to track their physical activity for seven days between February 2013 and December 2015. All people were tracked for six to eight years, until their first hospitalization or death due to heart disease or stroke.
Almost 3,000 people acquired coronary artery disease and almost 800 had a stroke over that time period. Those who were active between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m., on the other hand, had the lowest chances for both illnesses.
"Because this was an observational research, we cannot explain why the connections were stronger in women," Albalak explained.
"Our findings contribute to the data on the health advantages of physical exercise by indicating that morning activity, particularly late morning activity, may be the most beneficial."
