Children’s nutrition is more than just a personal health matter—it has wide-reaching effects on families, communities, and society as a whole. A child's nutritional status significantly influences public health, shaping disease prevalence, academic success, and future earning potential. From pregnancy through adolescence, proper nourishment directly supports cognitive development, school performance, and overall well-being.
Rather than tackling global nutrition all at once, start by making positive changes at home. Family meals, particularly dinner, can sometimes feel overwhelming, but establishing healthy eating habits early on doesn’t have to be difficult. Small, consistent efforts can create a lasting impact on your child’s health and future.

About me
Hi, I’m Angelina Tringali, a Certified Youth Nutrition Specialist!
I’m passionate about helping kids and families build a healthy relationship with food—one that nourishes their bodies, supports their growth, and sets them up for lifelong well-being.
Growing up, I was always active and involved in sports, but I still struggled with my weight. I didn’t understand why, and no one really taught me how food impacted my body beyond the typical “eat your vegetables” advice. I remember being teased about my size, but I never really understood the connection between nutrition, energy, and my overall well-being. On top of that, being diagnosed with scoliosis in sixth grade added to my insecurities, making me even more self-conscious about my body.
As I got older, my curiosity about nutrition grew. I started asking questions, learning, and experimenting with my own diet. I saw firsthand how the right foods helped me feel better, perform better in sports, and gain confidence in myself. That journey led me to where I am today—helping kids and parents navigate nutrition in a way that’s practical, enjoyable, and sustainable.
