BALANCE AWARENESSWEEK
Close your eyes and stand on one foot. It’s hard right? Now imagine having that same disoriented feeling on two feet and with your eyes open. Balance is something most of us take for granted. It’s automatically hardwired into our bodies at birth, evolving and adapting as we grow and age. While basic balance is innate, some of us can perfect or master our balance through exercise and practice. We don’t often think about our balance—until, of course, we lose it. While most people may not be familiar with the word “vestibular”—relating to your inner ear, brain, and sense of balance—many of us have experienced the awkward or sometimes scary feeling when we momentarily lose our balance. Maybe it’s taking a wrong step or getting motion sickness aboard a jostlingboat.Or thatnauseatinghead-spinningsensationafterone toomany alcoholic beverages. Eventually, our balance comes back and life moves on. This is not the case for the over 69 million Americans who suffer from the mostly invisible and frequently debilitating symptoms of chronic imbalance associated with a vestibular disorder. Whether it comes on gradually over time or all of the sudden, bouts of dizziness, vertigo, and nausea can make manyof life’smore routine tasksvirtually intolerable.Try togetagoodnight’s sleep with a high-pitched ringing in your ear. Or try to focus on something as everything around you appears to be spinning. For those living with a vestibular condition, everyday life becomes a progressively challenging obstacle course to navigate. That is why VeDA pioneered Balance Awareness Week (BAW) in 1997: to be an opportunity each year to come together and shine a light on these

7 otherwise invisible balance disorders. If we’re all more aware, then we can better understand and be empathetic to those who need our support the most—our family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. Effective treatments are available for many vestibular disorders. Whether treatable or chronic, faster and more accurate diagnosis, along with effective coping strategies can greatly improve quality of life. Join us this September for Balance Awareness Week, and together we can pave the way toward restoring a life rebalanced. By participating in Balance Awareness Week, you can increase awareness about vestibular disorders and donate to support patients in their journey back to balance. 8 1 4 http://1sudoku.com n° 315825 - Level Hard 6 4 7 7 9 3 8 5 9

In a mixing bowl stir together mashed banana, pumpkin, eggs, peanut butter, coconut oil, vanilla and maple syrup until well combined. Add in oats, oat flour, almond meal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, Vietnamese cinnamon, allspice, chocolate chips and dried fruit; stir to combine. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to harden. Drop cookies by spoonfuls on prepared baking sheet. They won’t expand much, so feel free to press them down slightly, and make them as uniform as possible to ensure even baking. Bake for about 12 minutes until lightly browned. 2 1 4 3 9 8 5 1 2 3 6
