The foods which may spoil your breath for days after a meal are onion, garlic, cabbage, curry, alcohol.
Foods and drinks which strongly stimulate the body can cause stress. These foods are coffee, tea, cola, chocolate, alcohol, refined sugar, white flour, salt, and processed foods such as junk foods and fast foods.
There are foods that can help you fall asleep or keep you awake. Foods that stop your sleep are: caffeine containing drinks, alcohol, sugar, fatty or spicy food, food additives (seasonings, artificial colours, flavourings).
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.

Replying to a request letter
Dear Scott,
Taking an important exam is like running a marathon so it is advisable to take good care of 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 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,
greeting
