In the mountains you might actually NEED to "breathe better," but only if "better" means more forcefully or effectively. Since there is less oxygen in the air at higher altitudes, your body must work a bit harder (or faster) to inhale more mountain air to get the same rich level of oxygen you could effortlessly inhale at sea-level. Of course, other local factors at ocean's edge could reduce the oxygen available in ocean air to that of mountain air...like sitting in a coastline interstate rush hour traffic jam, since breathing in all those carbon monoxide molecules from idling cars & trucks surrounding you could block your blood from absorbing the oxygen, no matter how fast and hard you tried to inhale.

You can live on a mountain. Of course, it costs a lot of money to haul the food, materials, and goods required for you to live well on top of the mountain. Depending on the mountain, it may be so high that you would require oxygen to breathe, and so cold that you need lots of heat to keep comfortable. But it's do-able, if you're willing to spend the money.
