When eating on the run or if I don't have time to prepare a healthy meal after a full-day trial, It is good to know where to get dishes that are fresh and delicious. These are some of my favorite Delaware places. Vietnamese: "vPho "on Kirkwood Hwy. Newark : Great beef pho Greek/Mediterranean: "Terra" Grill on Market St. in Wilmington. Best Gyros Italian: "Mazella's" on Philadelphia Pike in Claymont. Everything is amazing Subs: "Casapulla's", of course! Mexican: "Diablo" Burritos in Trolley Square. Best fish tacos Indian: "Maharaya" at Red Mill Square. Newark. Authentic cuisine. Best chicken tikka masala Japanese: "Sushi Sumo" in Newark. Best tofu & vegetable tempura |
Healthy snacks are important when working long hours. If you crave something salty try olives, nuts, rice cakes, carrots, or celery with cream cheese or nut butter, sliced veggies, or baked chips. If you crave sweet try fresh fruit, smoothies, dark chocolate, whole-flour cookies, dried fruit like raisins, naturally dried coconut, whole wheat crackers with nut butter or nutella, or a bowl of hot oatmeal with cinnamon.

PLEASE MOVE!![]() Conference and court interpreting demand long periods of sitting with minimal movement. |
MOVE![]() Sitting too long may impede proper circulation and cause blood clots. You should not sit with your legs crossed under your chair. Keep both legs in front of you. Interpreters should take a short break every 30 to 45 minutes. Use this time to relax, clear your mind, stretch, and breathe. Many tai-chi movements and yoga postures combine most of these recommended elements.

.![]() Professional spoken-language interpreters make their living by talking. They must prepare for assignments in advance by researching and studying. Therefore their main assets are their voice and their eyes. You can carry a shawl or a scarf to wrap around your shoulders and neck in case you feel cold in an air-conditioned room. Visit an eye doctor or optometrist every year. Many interpreters are self-employed and have no health insurance, but that doesn't mean they can't have health care. An eye exam costs a private patient around $ 60 in the U.S. and opticals are always having promotions on eyeglasses. There are also things you can try anytime to help your eyes and throat, including relaxing your eyes by frequently focusing on something at a distance different than at the one you are working, practicing exercises such as those included in the Seeing Clearly Method developed by certified Feldenkrais practitioner David Weller, drinking plenty of water, using moisturizing eye drops, and avoiding first and second-hand smoke.
