It's a rich source of carbohydrates, which are essential for sustaining energy as you cut calories, but the carbs in white rice can cause a surge in blood sugar that undermines weight loss.
A decent body pillow provides support to the entire spine, head and neck, hips and knees during sleeping. Body pillows are made by various companies in multiple dimensions. Pillow sizes range from pillows that are 45 inches long up to 90 inches long to wrap around the body, with multiple sizes in between.
A king sham is 36 by 20 inches and usually is used for both queen and king pillows. A Euro shame -- or European pillow sham -- fits the large square 26-by-26-inch pillows used for decoration and as extra support while reading in bed. Most shams open in the back, not on one side like a regular bed-pillow cover. The front is the fancy part if the sham is very decorative, and the back is plainer, with an overlapped open slit in the middle into which you slip the pillow.
