Carlsbad CA— From heart disease to diabetes to cancer, chronic inflammation is behind almost every common disease. Fortunately, chronic inflammation can be controlled, reduced and even reversed by making simple lifestyle changes. One of the easiest ways is to eat more antioxidant rich and anti-inflammatory fighting foods.
Gelson’s is making these foods more accessible with the introduction of two new Mediterranean-inspired salads for Gelson’s Kitchen that are jam packed with antioxidants and probiotics,  just in time to help achieve those New Year’s resolutions to make better food choices.
Developed by the gourmet supermarket’s registered dietician, Jessica Siegel, the newest additions join Jessica’s existing healthful collection of chef-crafted, Mediterranean-inspired salads available for purchase at Gelson’s in Pacific Beach, Del Mar, and Carlsbad.

• Pomegranate Chicken Salad: includes antioxidant-rich pomegranate arils that add an unexpected crunchy sweetness, a creamy chicken salad that uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise and juicy, tender chicken breast. Fight off inflammation with this delicious salad that can be enjoyed on its own or in a pita or wrap.
• Super Antioxidant Chopped Salad: this re-engineered fan favorite includes a tangy dressing using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and incorporates more antioxidant-rich turmeric for added health benefits. The plant-rich, probiotic ingredients can also help support a healthy gut microbiome.

Gelson’s is committed to helping customers live a healthier lifestyle through mindful nutrition. In addition to the expansive selection of ready-made salads to enjoy at home, Siegel also offers customers free virtual consultations to assess their nutrition goals.
