16. Spirulina

Spirulina is a type of algae that has been traced as a food back to the ancient Aztecs. People typically use it in powder form and add it to shakes, dips, and sauces. Like many items in this list of superfoods, spirulina is packed with antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties.

It may reduce mental fatigue and protect the blood vessels in the brain from damage, support weight loss, and lower cholesterol.
