The answers are:

  1. healthy
  2. is not

Explanation:

Recommended Dietary Allowance:

Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), also known as Adequate Intake (AI), is the average daily dietary intake of all (97-98%) of healthy individuals of particular gender, age or life stage (in terms of pregnancy and lactation) in a population. The RDA can be considered the nutrient intake goal for all individuals.

The RDA is an overly adequate criterion for nutrient intake. It generally corresponds to an exceeded limit of dietary intake for all (97-98%) individuals. Therefore, RDA is not considered to be a reference point in planning or assessing dietary choices for people because almost all of the individuals, even if they lie below RDA, get adequate nutrients for proper bodily functions.
