Because your body uses oxygen to produce energy and without energy you cannot move, grow etc.

Oxygen is essential for the muscles, because it stops them from rubbing together, which damages them, and of course, heating up excessively. We all know what its like when we get cramps in our muscles, either from excessive exercise or just plain ol old age. Oxygen is a kind of lubricant for them.

When the Brain is staved of or even restricted of sufficient amounts of Oxygen the cells electrons, which is our memories and thought patterns and auto executed programmed reactions like heart beat, and in the brain the lack of oxygen can start to let these electrons to start to touch each other and if this happens for too long the brain will short out and first the mind will get memory loss and then body functions and then if the brain goes for too long without Oxygen the brain will not be able to function anymore and the body will dies. So, breathe deeply, it's the Gas of life in more was than you can imagine!

Strangulation stops that oxygen to the brain and within 4 to 6 minutes you will die. Not from the lungs but from the oxygen rich blood in the Jugular vein's.
