🔬It's #WordWednesday! Today's term: #Inflammation
🔍 What is it? The body's response to injury or infection, causing swelling.
🌿Example: S. aureus phages destroy harmful bacteria, reducing inflammation and slowing aging. Learn more @urtrueparallel for natural healing!

🔬 It's #WordWednesday! Today's Term: #Acne
🔍 What is it? Acne occurs when hair follicles clog with oil and dead skin, often due to C. acnes bacteria.
🌿 Example: C. acnes thrive in clogged pores, causing pimples. Check out @urtrueparallel to help clear your skin!

🔬 It's #WordWednesday! Today's Term: #Probiotics
🔍What is it? Probiotics are living microorganisms, like bacteria, that are good for your body.
🌿Example: They're found in fermented foods and skincare (checkout @urtrueparallel products!) and help keep your microbiome healthy.

🔬 It's #WordWednesday! Today's Term: #Microbiome
🔍What is it? The community of small organisms (like bacteria) living in a certain spot, such as our skin or gut, which impact our health.
🌿Example: Our skin's microbiome protects it from harmful pathogens and keeps it glowing!

#Nature published an exciting finding in cancer #microbiome research! After analyzing fecal microbiota from colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, researchers identify microbial covariates. However, qualitative profiling is necessary to pinpoint reliable biomarkers in CRC research.

Scientists find that #bacteria are attracted to amino acids in our blood and can cause bloodstream infections, leading to sepsis or blood poisoning. These bacteria have been dubbed as 'vampire' bacteria🧛🦠🤯!!

New research at @TAMU unveils how bacteriophages cripple bacteria by disrupting their pilus appendages. At @urtrueparallelhealth, we're committed to advancing #phagetherapy research, seeking alternatives to antibiotics for better outcomes against antibiotic-resistant infections.

DYK? Phages target specific bacterial strains, unlike antibiotics which have broad spectrum activity. #PhageTherapy brings precision to fighting infections, offering hope against drug-resistant bugs. 🦠🎯💥 @urtrueparallel

Recent studies reveal that benzene, a known carcinogen, could form at unacceptably high levels in benzoyl peroxide acne treatments. At @urtrueparallel, we use #phages instead of harsh chemicals, ensuring safe and effective skin solutions 🌿🫧

On #AprilFoolsDay 1923, the @latimes proclaimed that "Health Can 'Be Caught'" by breathing the same air as humans with healthy #bacteria: a joke at the reader’s expense.
We don't believe that's a joke at @urtrueparallel. Health *can* be caught by breathing good microbes/phages🤯

PSA: Stay out of the water for at least 72 hours🏄🦠🌊
Following heavy rain, bacteria levels in the ocean are elevated due to contaminants from stormwater runoff.

Turns out, sweat is odorless.

It's the bacteria on your skin that mixes with sweat, creating that distinct smell.

Wondering about your unique scent? Try the Body Odor at-home microbiome kit from Parallel (https://t.co/gWFV3Ncs6K).
