December 3, 2014 – LawFuel.com – Dentons today released its second Global Social Impact Report, an annual collection of the Firm’s work in communities around the world. All of the stories featured in the report – pro bono legal service, community volunteerism, environmental sustainability – serve as outstanding examples of how a law firm can harness its talent and resources to promote positive social change.

“Corporate social responsibility is an intrinsic part of our forward thinking culture,” Elliot Portnoy, Global CEO and Joe Andrew, Global Chair, state in the Report. “As a truly polycentric global law firm, we have the opportunity and responsibility to provide meaningful assistance to low-income individuals and disadvantaged communities across the globe. That is why we have written into our core strategy our commitment to making a positive social impact on the communities in which we live and work.”

The report highlights only a fraction of the Firm’s efforts. Across the globe, Dentons professionals regularly take time from their normal routines to put their skills, energy and creativity towards causes that benefits others.

“Because it’s who we are,” explains Ben Weinberg, Pro Bono Partner. “That’s what I tell people who ask why Dentons lawyers and professionals are so devoted to pro bono and corporate social responsibility.”

Thinner blood can also lower the chance of clots forming and reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks, which nitrates can also help diseased hearts work more efficiently according to medical researchers, reports the Express.co.uk.

They produce more of a compound that widens and opens blood vessels and help change bad white fat cells into good brown, fat-burning cells.

These could combat obesity and reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes.

Dr Andrew Murray, from the University of Cambridge who worked on all three studies, said: “Simple changes in diet can modify people’s risk of Type 2 diabetes and obesity as well as potentially alleviating symptoms of existing cardiovascular conditions to achieve an overall healthier life.”

The independent studies were conducted by scientists from the universities of Cambridge and Southampton.

The findings are reported in three publications: The Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, the Journal of Physiology, and the journal Diabetes.

Professor Jeremy Pearson, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, which part-funded the research, said: “It has long been thought that nitrate-rich vegetables have cardiovascular benefits.

“This research suggests that a previously unsuspected mechanism by which nitrate controls red blood cell production is important.

“These findings add to the evidence that dietary nitrate promotes cardiovascular health.”

High concentrations of nitrate are also found in celery, cabbage and other leafy green vegetables.
