The act of breathing refers to inhaling and exhaling through the lungs and spreading air throughout the body. Although we cannot see it, we know breathing is a physical activity because we can feel the air as we inhale and exhale. The simple act of breathing is one of the many things we take for granted, but our lives depend on it.

While none of us can live without breathing, it happens so naturally, unconsciously, and automatically that we don’t give it a second thought. But if we look closer, breathing is a very methodical process. We cannot inhale twice in a row or exhale too fast. Breaths have to be correctly timed for maximum impact.
