I am not a big fan of the fish that is listed in the link below, but otherwise it gives some good information on healthy foods to add to your diet, and a few ways in which to use them! Everyone states that fish are an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Fish oil, and fish, fish, fish, is all that is ever heard from the health industry. But Omega 3's can be gotten from many different non animal sources. The amount depends on which food- but if you incorporate a variety of the foods into your diet, you should get plenty of those Omega 3's that are essential to the body (essential means that it can't be produced by the functions of the body, so it has to be consumed.)
Flaxseed oil, soybeans, walnuts, and kidney beans are all great sources of Omega 3's. Even olive oil and certain squashes have the Omega 3 fatty acids.
The link below isn't about Omega 3's, but take a look at it to gain some more information on some vegetarian options to incorporate into your diet.
