Add any one of these to your regular diet and your body will be sure to thank you.
In 1906, Henry Tissier successfully isolated a specific microbe in the stomach of a breastfed infant. His discovery of what came to be called Bifidobacterium confirmed what many had long suspected to be true: that certain bacteria, which could be introduced to the body via food, could have positive health benefits. The demand for these probiotics, whether they come from the foods we consume or via a supplement, has only exploded from there.
Many of the most popular food sources of probiotics are dairy-based, such as cheese, yogurt, and kefir, but there are plenty of plant-based options too. Thistle has compiled a list of fermented foods that are a rich source of probiotics and are totally plant-based.

However, nondairy alternatives—like soy, almond, coconut, and oat yogurt—have been on the market for at least the last 50 years.
These days, you can find a huge variety of bottled kombucha on the market in all sorts of flavours, both carbonated and still. It's also possible to make kombucha safely at home if you can get your hands on a SCOBY, the symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast that turns tea into kombucha. jazz3311 // Shutterstock Miso Another ancient food, miso has been consumed for thousands of years in Japan. Made of soybeans and mould—specifically, a bacteria named Aspergillus oryzae—the traditional preparation of this paste is now considered an art form in its native country.

Of all the plant-based probiotics on this list, pickled vegetables—which require just a simple brine of vinegar, sugar, and salt for fermentation—are likely the easiest to make at home.

SLB to add $5 billion in revenue this year, sees similar growth in 2024SLB is on track to add about $5 billion in revenue this year, and sees similar potential for growth in 2024, mainly helped by increased drilling in international markets, CEO Olivier Le Peuch said at a conference on Wednesday. SLB, the world's largest oilfield service company and former Schlumberger, is betting on a recent resurgence in offshore and international drilling in regions like the Middle East to boost revenue as North America drilling has lagged. 'Directionally, we see the potential to repeat this by adding similar revenue and EBITDA dollar growth in 2024,' Le Peuch said at a Barclays energy conference.
