As a respiratory expert, I can tell you that the number of breaths a person takes per day can vary greatly depending on factors such as age, physical activity, and health conditions. However, we can make a rough estimate based on average respiratory rates. Toddlers might breathe 20-30 times per minute, while older children and adults, when at rest, usually breathe about 12-20 times per minute. If we take the average of the lower and upper limits for both age groups, we get an average of about 15 times per minute for older children and adults. Now, let's calculate the number of breaths per day: - For older children and adults: 15 breaths/minute * 60 minutes/hour * 24 hours/day = 21,600 breaths per day. This is a general estimate and the actual number can be higher or lower depending on the individual's activity level and other factors. For example, during exercise or in situations that require more oxygen, the breathing rate will increase, leading to more breaths per day. read more >>

Toddlers might breathe 20-30 times per minute. Older children and adults, when resting, usually breathe about 12-20 times per minute. Over the course of a day, that adds up to 17,000-30,000 breaths per day �� or more! Those average breathing rates are for when you're at rest.read more >>
