Bad Breath

Sleeplessness
There are foods that can help you fall asleep or keep you awake. Foods that stop your sleep are caff eine containing drinks, alcohol, sugar, fatty or spicy food, food additives (seasonings, artificial colors, flavorings).

Sleepiness
To feel sleepy, eat high-carbohydrate, low protein foods, such as cheese, milk, soya milk, tofu, nuts, honey, almonds, bananas, whole grains, beans, rice, avocados, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, or papayas.

1.3. Read a sample letter

Read a sample letter to know how to write a responding letter for an inquiry for the Food Column. 

Sample responding letter:

Dear Scott,
Taking an important exam is like running a marathon so it is advisable to take good care of the things you eat.
On the day before the exam, have high-carbonate foods like pasta as the slow breaking down of the carbonates will provide the necessary energy for the next day's event.
Eat a breakfast of mainly proteins (beef, eggs, poultry...) on the day of the exam as the proteins are another quick source of energy.
Drink a lot of water and fruit juice. Avoid caffeine drinks as they may help you feel good at first but there is a side effect that leaves you feel tired and stressful later, dangerously while you are still taking the exam.
Hope you will do your best.
Regards,
