The human body has million of cells, each of them requires
oxygen for survival. Air, which contains oxygen, enters in the
bloodstream so it can move throughout the body, bringing fresh
oxygen to the cells and taking away waste products the cells
give off , such as carbon dioxide*

The Human body is run by the brain, which receives and
interprets signals from the sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, skin,
and mouth), muscles and nerves, and functions during sleep.
The human body is able to move with the help of more than 600
muscles. Each bone has at least two muscles attached for this
purpose. Some muscles act when a person deliberately moves,
such as to walk, run or smile others, such as the heart function
automatically.
In conclusion we need to be in good shape and eat only healthy
food if we want to keep our bodies working properly, avoiding
all things that can make damage it.
