Pourquoi respire-t-on?
By Jennifer Kenny
Translation by Christine El-Solh
  

1     Savais-tu que dans ta vie il est probable que tu respireras environ 50 MILLIONS de fois? La respiration est la vie pour tout le monde. Tu dois respirer tout le temps. Si tu ne respirais pas tu mouras. Mais, sais-tu ce qui est vraiment étonnant? Tu n'as pas besoin de réfléchir pour respirer. Tu n'as qu'à le faire.
 
2     Un bébé respire environ 40 fois par minute. Un enfant respire environ 30 fois par minute. Un adulte actif respire environ 25 fois par minute. Finalement, un adulte au repos respire environ 15 fois par minute.
 
3     Au repos tu inspires environ une tasse d'air chaque fois que tu respires. Pourtant, si tu faisais quelque chose de plus active tu inspirerais environ six tasses d'air.
