Breath is essential to life, and our lungs make it happen. These two spongy organs rest deep in either side of our chest. Every time we inhale, our lungs harvest oxygen from the air we breathe and deposit it into our blood, which carries it into each cell in our body. Meanwhile, our cells constantly release carbon dioxide, which is also carried by our blood, and exhaled out through our lungs.
This incredibly complex yet undeniably critical mechanism is virtually effortless. The incessant inhalation and exhalation of our breath carries on night and day, whether we think about it or not.
