00:00Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.

00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about Top 10 Ways Clutter Affects Your Health.

00:15Got a closet that's overflowing or a desk piled high with papers? It's time to tidy up.

00:20While a bit of mess might boost creativity, too much clutter can harm your physical and mental

00:24health. Here's how. 1. Mess equals stress

00:27When everything's in order, you can easily find your keys and glasses, saving you time and stress.

00:32One study found that women with cluttered homes had higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol

00:36compared to those with neat, restful spaces. 2. It doesn't get easier

00:41Don't wait to clean up. Research shows that adults in their 50s with lots of stuff are

00:45more likely to delay decisions on what to keep or toss, leading to less satisfaction with life.

00:503. Difficulty concentrating Clutter makes it hard to focus.

00:54Studies show that disorganization can distract your brain, especially for those with ADHD.

00:59A professional organizer might help restore order. 4. Worsen allergies

01:03Clutter collects dust, making it tough to keep your space clean.

01:06If you have allergies, decluttering can help manage symptoms like sneezing and itchy eyes.

01:115. Embarrassment and isolation A tidy home is welcoming,

01:14but clutter can make you avoid having guests, potentially leading to loneliness

01:18and strained relationships. Hoarding is often linked to depression and anxiety.

01:226. Slips and falls Clutter increases the risk

01:25of tripping and falling. Overloaded shelves can also be hazardous if items fall or furniture

01:30topples over. 7. Memory issues

01:32Living in a cluttered home can affect your working memory. Your brain can only keep track of so much

01:37at once, and too much clutter can overwhelm it. 8. Fire hazard

01:41Excess clutter can be a fire hazard. In case of a fire,

01:44blocked pathways make it harder to escape and for firefighters to reach you.

01:489. Linked to weight gain People with hoarding tendencies

01:51are more likely to overeat and become obese. Studies show a correlation between clutter,

01:56high BMI, and binge eating. 10. Sleep problem

01:59Hoarding is often linked to insomnia. Lack of sleep can affect decision-making,

02:03including acquiring more unnecessary stuff. An organized environment can make you more caring.

02:08One study found that people in neat rooms were more likely to donate to charity compared to

02:12those in messy rooms. So, a bit of tidying up can go a long way for your well-being and kindness.
