You can't breathe through the tongue. Maybe you're thinking about breathing through the mouth.

Breathing through the nose is a tad better, primarily because the nose and the nasal cavity works as a filter, trapping dust, adjusting the moisture and the temperature of the incoming air before it reaches the lungs.

Recently it has also been discovered that breathing through the nose releases a chemical(something with nitrogen) that improves your uptake of oxygen.

Why is it healthier to breath through your nose then through your mouth?

I am not in a medical field but I know the basics of this one. Breathing through your mouth hastens dehydration and provides no filtering of contaminates as air is drawn into the lungs. Breathing through your nose slows the rate of dehydration and the nose works as a filter for contaminates, such as dust. When you inhale dust through your nose and sneeze, that is your body's way of protecting itself.
