7. Spirulina:
This blue-green algae has gained a lot of reputation as a superfood lately. But it is actually one of the most ancient living beings on Earth, and it was consumed by the Aztecs in biscuits. Spirulina is filled with proteins, it has plenty of minerals and other extra nutrients. Vitamin B12 in this algae contributes to cell metabolism in the liver and other body parts. Potassium and magnesium are excellent for blood pressure, which indirectly affect the liver, and chlorophyll balances pH levels in the blood and contributes to detox by helping the organism get rid of toxins.
If you thought carrots were rich in beta-carotene, spirulina contains ten times more of this antioxidant substance. Thus, it is one of the best nutrients in nature if you want to fight free radical damage in your liver.
Moreover, it has another potent antioxidant known as zeaxanthin, which is more efficient in scavenging free radicals than beta-carotene itself. This food has been found beneficial to counter drug poisoning and heavy metal intoxication because it helps the liver get rid of these harmful components.
