Summary: Biological water is not just ordinary H2O—it’s the dynamic, interactive medium within our bodies that enables life-sustaining processes. From nutrient transport to waste removal, biological water is the unsung hero of cellular function.
Biological water refers to the water molecules within our bodies that are directly involved in biological processes. Unlike regular water, biological water interacts with proteins, enzymes, and other cellular components, enabling vital functions like nutrient transport, waste removal, and cell maintenance. This blog explores the concept of biological water, its unique properties, and its critical role in sustaining life.

Unveiling the Power of Biofortification: A Solution to Hidden Hunger
Biofortification is a process of increasing the micronutrient content of staple crops through breeding, agronomic, or biotechnological methods
Prof. Aécio D’Silva, Ph.D
Biofortification can help to reduce hidden hunger, which is a form of malnutrition caused by micronutrient deficiencies, affecting more than two billion people worldwide. Biofortification can provide a sustainable, cost-effective, and accessible way of delivering micronutrients to poor and vulnerable populations, especially in rural areas.
Hidden hunger is a global public health problem that affects more than two billion people, especially women and children, in developing countries. Hidden hunger is a form of malnutrition caused by the lack of essential micronutrients, such as iron, zinc, iodine, vitamin A, and folate, in the diet. Micronutrients are vital for the normal functioning of the body, such as growth, development, immunity, and metabolism. Micronutrient deficiencies can lead to various health consequences, such as anemia, stunting, blindness, cognitive impairment, birth defects, and an increased risk of infections and chronic diseases.
