Decluttering for Health: How Reducing Clutter Can Improve Your Physical and Mental Well-Being

Clutter often accumulates gradually, turning our living spaces into areas of disorder and stress. Overstuffed closets and jam-packed attics are not just minor inconveniences; they carry significant implications for our health and well-being. 

The presence of excessive belongings can lead to the buildup of dust and allergens, which can trigger respiratory problems and other health issues. Additionally, the physical hazards posed by clutter increase the risk of accidents and injuries, making your home a less safe environment.
