eating high saturated fat foods impair concentration and memory.
I think is really important to have good mental retention when you are a medical interpreter because it allows them to listen, understand, and reproduce information accurately and quickly.
interpreting often requires several ideas, sentences, or numbers in the mind while reformulating them into another language, sometimes in real time.
over time, good retention contributes to building a wide vocabulary and cultural knowledge.
memory is the foundation that supports accuracy.
