Spanish to English translations [Non-PRO]
Nutrition / Nutrition and sports
Spanish term or phrase: La alimentación
"La alimentación de acuerdo a las necesidades del organismo y su actividad"

It is a semi-specialised text about nutrition and sports. I have a problem with translating the title. I was considering to translate it as a 'Nutrition' or 'Food' or 'Feeding' but I couldn't find any reasonable translation so far. At the beginning 'Nutrition' was the best option in terms of context but there is also term 'nutrición' in the text.

How would you translate 'la alimentación' in this context?

I'll be very grateful for your help!
