Why is breathing important?

  • Your cells need oxygen so that they can extract the maximum amount of energy from the sugar they consume for fuel. With oxygen present, cells can extract 16 times as much energy from the same amount of sugar that they could if they did not have oxygen.
    What happens is this: cells need to break apart the sugar to get the energy out of it. Without oxygen around they can only break it down only so far but there is still most of the energy contained in it. When oxygen is present, the sugar can be broken apart all the way (into carbon dioxide and hydrogen atoms). You breath out the carbon dioxide and the hydrogens are de-energized (the cells get the energy) and then attached to oxygen atoms to produce water. This whole process is called "cellular respiration"


  • Breathing is very very important for all. We must inhale oxygen and exhale carbon-dye-oxide. If you practice breathing exercise (pranayama) regularly you will feel better. So do it from today.


  • keeps you alive.
    oxygen in your blood, oxygens needed to perform most life functions. cells need it to survive. youd be dead without it
