Top 5 Health Benefits Of Cinnamon By Michelle Cook
Benefit #1: Great for Type II Diabetes patients. If you are a victim of Type II Diabetes or if you know someone who is suffering from it, you must recommend cinnamon to them. Consuming cinnamon in any form, whether it is quills, powder or extracts, will produce insulin in your body and reduce the LDL, which is bad cholesterol in your body. Benefit #2: Ideal for pain and inflammation of vessels. Do you know that eating recommended doses of cinnamon on a daily basis can relieve you from joint pain and mild arthritis? Benefit #3: Acts as an aphrodisiac. Have you ever smelt the cinnamon on the top of your coffee and observed its fragrance that goes straight into the head? Cinnamon helps to release the ‘happy hormones’ in your body and hence elevates your mood. You can use cinnamon as an aphrodisiac by sprinkling it on mashed apples, coffee, other milk based shakes and select soup servings. Benefit #4: It’s a great mouth freshener and reduces tooth decay. If you drink Cinnamon Tea without sugar it will keep your mouth feeling fresh and germ free. It may also prevent tooth decay and gum disease as the strong anti-bacterial and disinfecting properties of Cinnamon keeps your mouth healthy and promotes oral hygiene Benefit #5: Controls infections. Did you know that ancient Egyptians used cinnamon as an embalming agent so that they could store their food for more days without letting it spoil? That’s because cinnamon is known to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiseptic properties.

HAVE A CHAT AND A CHEW
Jasper’s Porch Lakefront Restaurant caters to casual dining By Ruth Ragland Associate Editor
Rick Passio, proprietor of Jasper’s Porch Lakefront Restaurant, invites visitors and locals alike to drop by and sit a spell at his Ridgeland eatery. Although he’s from the big city of Philadelphia, Passio promises a Southern ambience and family-friendly attitude at the place. Jasper’s Porch isn’t new to Ridgeland, but Passio and his business partner Cheryl Reiger have put a new emphasis on high-quality ingredients and fresh, made-to-order menu selections. Passio says that fried chicken will always be the star attraction at Jasper’s Porch, but he’s also proud to serve an authentic Philly cheesesteak in honor of his hometown. Other Lowcountry favorites include
18 • WWW.EDIBLESMAG.COM
wings, ribs, burgers and fries; she crab soup, oysters and shrimp; and catfish, po boys and stuffed flounder. Passio was looking for a restaurant business in South Carolina about a year and a half ago and happened on Jasper’s Porch one night for dinner. He mentioned his search to his waitress Vicky and she said, “Why don’t you buy this place?” “I talked to the owner and the rest is history,” Passio said. “We are a family-run business,” he said. “Pastors eat free and we tithe back to churches.” Passio, the father of eight, also offers Tuesday family nights, with one kids meal included in the price of an adult’s meal. While the atmosphere is easy-going, it’s also lively, with a Thursdaythrough-Saturday night lineup of live music that Passio calls “an ambitious entertainment

F
schedule.” Acts range from Target the Band, a trio performing 60s and 70s pop music; to acoustic guitarist Tommy Joe Connor and bluesman Bill Dupont. “It’s fun place to be — I don’t have to employ bouncers,” Passio said. He said that the buffet is a big hit with patrons, as is the Sunday brunch served from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. for $12. Another big draw is the screened porch itself, offering a waterfront view for relaxed dining. “You have to come in to see it for yourself,” Passio said.

GETTING AROUND THE LOWCOUNTRY It’s easy to get to beautiful Beaufort County - just a short drive from I-95 or US 17. Both roads run north-south along the east coast of the United States and connect to other interstates and major highways. Driving south on US 17, exit onto US 21 at Gardens Corner and enjoy the scenic marsh views going approximately 20 miles east into the downtown Beaufort area. Driving south on I-95, take Exit 33 at Point South and connect to US 21 for a direct route into the center of Beaufort. Driving north on I-95, take Exit 8 onto US 278 toward Hilton Head Island and directly into the Bluffton area and the southern part of Beaufort County. This route connects to SC 170, across the Broad River into the city of Beaufort in the northern part of the county.
