We need to breathe oxygen because it is essential for our cells to produce energy through a process called cellular respiration. This energy is used to fuel our bodily functions and keep us alive. Without oxygen, our cells would not be able to produce enough energy to sustain life.

Why do you need breath?

Humans and animals breathe to supply the blood with oxygen, and to deliver oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body. We need to breathe so we have a constant supply of oxygen in our lungs, that can be absorbed by our body. The oxygen is used by cells for respiration, to produce energy. We need to breath because if we don't we will die. We need to take the oxygen in, and let the carbon dioxide out. We need to breath because if we don't we will die. We need to take the oxygen in, and let the carbon dioxide out. People breathe because we need a few things to survive, like food and water, and fresh air and oxygen is one of them. People breathe to survive. The human body has to have oxygen in order to survive so if people did not breathe, they would die. Humans breathe for cellular respiration, meaning for us to live. Otherwise, people would die, because about all the cells in our bodies need oxygen for energy. You have to so you can get air to your lungs to keep your heart beating and pumping blood to your body to survive. Because if not we would die. Breathing is an involuntary action that is controlled by the primitive part of your brain. "in with the good, out with the bad."
