dietary allowances (RDAs) are a set of guidelines that apply to specific vitamins and minerals that are in the foods and supplements that are consumed on a daily basis.

the flour, after the milling process, are bioavailable, meaning humans cannot absorb those nutrients completely (Nystrom and Maberly, 2006). This means, an average person can consume large amounts of wheat products without ever reaching most of his daily requirements of vitamins and nutrients, such as iron and thiamine (Nystrom and Maberly, 2006).

and glycolysis are the energy systems used when these athletes perform. This athlete needs more protein in their diet than other athletes. These athletes must pay attention to protein intake because too much protein causes dehydration, overburdens the liver and kidneys, and interferes with calcium absorption.

A-B-A-B design will be used to determine the effects of positive reinforcement on daily water consumption. It is expected that this treatment will increase daily water intake when combined with a positive reinforcer. Positive reinforcement occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions. The data for this experiment was recorded daily for a span of 4 weeks, following the rules for a reversal A-B-A-B design. The materials
