Doctor lists five household items to avoid for better health and safety

Dr. Julia Adamian, an internist at NYU Langone, shared five items she avoids in her home due to health and safety concerns. She emphasizes that clutter can trap dust and allergens, leading to respiratory issues and allergies. Adamian also warns against tasselled rugs, which can cause trips and falls, especially for those with mobility challenges. She advises against keeping tempting foods like cheese in the kitchen to avoid unhealthy eating habits. Additionally, she recommends avoiding scented laundry detergents, which can trigger allergies and disrupt sleep. Lastly, Adamian suggests not having a TV in the bedroom, as it can interfere with sleep quality.
