Something to keep in mind on your next trip to Whole Foods: a recent study from Lousiana State University shows that black rice may be the next big superfood, boasting more antioxidants, fiber, and Vitamin E than blueberries.

While brown rice is still a much healthier option than its more processed and bran-less white counterpart, only black rice contains the kind of bran packed with a specific antioxidant known as anthocyanin (also found in blueberries, acai and grapes) which has been linked to the decreased risk of heart disease and cancer and improvements in memory.

I recently noticed black rice at B-bap and wondered about it—I agree that it might be the next big health craze.

Have you ever tried it? What did you think?

Why are my overnight oats purple? I put some frozen berries in before I left for work and let them melt along with myself on the subway.

I’m going to Hawaii next week (!!!), and I don’t want to leave this little blog here all by itself—it’s only a toddler! (I’ll be staying with friends, so I’m not totally disconnecting myself from the internets, but I’m definitely not going to post multiple times a day. Or even everyday. Unless I’m eating some crazy amazing Hawaiian food I want to tell you about.)

Are you interested in writing a guest post? If so, e-mail me at theodora AT losingweightinthecity dot com with what you’re interested in posting about. I already have a great one from Cynthia at It All Changes about being healthy despite having health problems. Some ideas: body image, running, nutrition, recipes, weight loss stories, etc. I’d need posts by next Monday so that they’d be ready to go when I leave on vacay next Thursday morning.
