About what breathing is

Breathing is a vital process that involves the entry of oxygen into the lungs and the release of carbon dioxide from the body. It is an essential mechanism for the survival and healthy functioning of the human body. During breathing, oxygen is absorbed by the lungs and transported to the body's cells through the blood, where it is used to produce energy through cellular metabolism. Simultaneously, carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, is eliminated from the body during exhalation.

The importance of breathing for human health cannot be underestimated.
