7.Spinach, Kale, and Leafy Greens
Another reason to eat leafy greens: They have the omega-3 fatty acid ALA. A spinach salad, a side of sautéed collard greens, and lettuce on a sandwich all boost your intake. That’s good because fatty acids don’t just promote heart health. Studies now suggest they may help other conditions, including cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.
8.Seaweed
The same omega-3 fatty acid that’s in cold-water fish — docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — is also in seaweed and algae. You can often find seaweed salad on the menu at sushi restaurants, but it might be in the refrigerated case in the grocery store, too. You’re more likely to get the benefits of algae from a daily supplement. Both are good sources of omega-3s for vegetarians.
