The Heart and the Fist

Like saints and soldiers, how do you rescue the world best? Eric Greitens' answer is "both", as evidenced in this inspiring memoir.

Like many young idealists, Eric Greitens wants to make a difference. During college and after graduation, he worked at the refugee camp, served the patient and the poor on the four continents from Gaza to Croatia, and went to Calcutta's Mother Theresa. But he can not prevent violence nor prevent someone from becoming a refugee and can only intervene and try to reduce the damage.

So Eric joined the seal and became an elite fighter. In an inspiring and inspirational memoir, Erik is telling something new in the history of the military memoir with real humility. The warrior he wants to become strong understands that he must be strong enough to become strong. During the training and deployment of SEAL in Kenya, Thailand, Afghanistan, and Iraq, the lesson of his humanitarian work has resulted. As a result, it is a lesson for all of us. Mind and fist are stronger than one human being.

The title of the book "Mind and Boxing" means the overall theme of the book, that is, force always needs to be combined with consideration. Especially it is important to be able to fight through military strength, but if you do not have the ability to take care and build, fighting alone will rarely produce a positive result. He pointed out that training by seal is not the strongest or most difficult person soon, success was discovered by those who showed their mind and determination.

The heart of the human cardiovascular system is the heart. The fist size is clenched and the human heart is protected under the ribs. It consists of a special and unique myocardium that pumps blood into the body and the heart. Cardiac contraction is caused by intrinsic electrical stimulation that brain and endocrine hormones help regulate. Understanding the basic anatomy and function of the heart is important for understanding the circulatory and respiratory systems of the body. Gas exchange is the basic function of cardiovascular system. Since oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse directly between their body tissues and the external environment, they do not require a circulatory system in organisms that do not have specialized respiratory organs such as unicellular organisms. However, in organisms with lungs and sputum, oxygen must be transported from these specialized respirators to body tissues through the circulatory system.

The heart is the muscle of the fist size and sends blood to the organs and tissues throughout the body through the artery. As the ambient temperature rises, the heart beats faster and must work more vigorously to pump blood onto the surface of the skin to help sweat and chill the body. If your body is not cooled enough, it puts pressure on your heart and your organs begin to suffer - this can be a lethal and fatal illness called heat stroke. Everyone may develop heat stroke, but patients with heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases are at higher risk. If you have heart disease, your heart may not be able to work harder at high temperature to maintain a lower body temperature. In addition, diuretics used to reduce the water content in the blood, like beta blockers, are suitable for many heart diseases. Each of these medicines may degrade the ability to cool the body at high temperatures.
