A new analysis published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found higher circulating blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids are associated with a significantly lower risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AFib). The comprehensive biomarker-based study—one of the largest of its kind—analyzed data from hundreds of thousands of participants in the UK Biobank. Researchers showed that individuals with higher omega-3 levels had a lower incidence of AFib over a median of 12.7 years of follow-up, compared to those with lower omega-3 status. Notably, when properly accounting for the confounding effects of age in statistical models, reported fish oil supplement…

One of the most annoying restrictions in Gmail is that, once you’ve picked an email address, you’re stuck with it. There are exceptions for third-party addresses, like work emails tied to a company’s domain, but for the typical @gmail.com account, no dice. Personally, I’ve had a number of loyalty programs and store accounts tied to an embarrassingly edgy email from high school for decades now, but finally, it seems like I’ll be able to change it.A recently updated Google support page says the company is now “gradually rolling out” the ability to change your Gmail address, with some limitations.
