What Happens Every Time You Breathe

What happens every time you breathe?

At every single moment we inhale air, several body parts work together on the air as it enters into the lung and diffuses into the blood. We then expel the carbon dioxide gas which is a type of waste our bodies produce. Not only for survival do we breathe, but we also need to create energy.

As oxygen is essential for life, so is content. Every moment, our bodies receive and send diverse information to the brain. Research has it that "the human body sends 11 million bits per second to the brain for processing, yet the conscious mind seems to be able to process only 50 bits per second."

Just like the process of breathing, the brain also filters information that it receives from the senses and body and sends them back as messages to the body. That's why, like oxygen, content has become a valuable commodity.
