Nowadays, you practically do not meet healthy people over 25. Everyone has some kind of sore or ailment. Of course, you can talk for a long time here about heredity, ecology and the wrong way of life. Have you ever heard of such a concept as organic speech?
Discovery of a German psychotherapist
We often hear or read that thoughts are material. Like, you can't think about the bad - it will come true! But do we seriously believe in such things?
German psychotherapist Nossrat Pezeshkian was the first to draw attention to the fact that in the human lexicon there are words and expressions associated with certain physiological processes. He called this phenomenon organic speech.
Studies have shown that people who like to use certain expressions are more likely to develop illnesses that correspond to these words.
What phrases should you avoid?

So, we follow our vocabulary and replace the "dangerous" phrases.
Thus, anyone who claims that he is "engaged in self-criticism" or "does not digest" someone can earn an ulcer. If a person says that he is “gnawed by something” or that everything is “bored to death”, then he can get cancer.
Safe replacement: "I don't like this person", "Something bothers me", "I'm tired of this."
Fans of the expressions "fed up", "tired to the point of nausea", "with a heart turn up" suffer from loss of appetite and anorexia nervosa.
Safe substitution: "This situation bothers me!", "I've had enough!"
Avoid the phrase "I'm bitter." It may indeed become bitter, indicating liver or gallbladder problems.
Safe replacement: "I am upset by this situation", "I am sad."
Many people like to talk about how they “take something to heart”, that their “heart breaks” or someone has struck them “in the heart”. By doing this, they increase the risk of myocardial infarction.
Safe substitution: "I am very upset", "I am stressed."
Frequent use of the expressions "sitting in my kidneys" or "urine hit my head" leads to urological diseases.
Safe replacement: "I just can't get rid of it", "Some kind of whim came to mind."
It is also dangerous to say that you “need an outlet”, “cut off the oxygen”, that you “sneeze on someone”. You may have problems with the lungs and bronchi.
Safe substitution: "I need to get distracted", "They put obstacles in me", "I don't care."
It is worth abandoning statements that someone "drinks blood from you", "squeezes out juices" or something has entered "your flesh and blood." This can lead to diseases of the circulatory, lymphatic, endocrine systems.
Safe substitution: "He strains me", "She gets me", "It has become a part of me."
Those who love to speculate about what "burden of worries" they have shouldered or that they have some problems "on their necks" will certainly acquire osteochondrosis.
Safe replacement: "I am busy with this and that", "I have a lot of things to do and worries now," "I have a lot of problems."
If someone calls themselves “too thin-skinned” or “lightly injured,” they may be overtaken by allergies or skin diseases.
Safe substitution: "It hurts me too much."
Not worth mentioning the head. If you say that you “broke your whole head,” “risked your head,” “beat your head,” that something brought you a “continuous headache,” then you should expect migraines.
Safe replacement: "I struggled with this problem for a long time", "It was not safe", "It brought me continuous problems."
It is not recommended to say that "your patience is exhausted" or you need to "blow off steam". This leads to problems with blood vessels, hypertension.
Safe replacement: "I can't stand this anymore!", "My patience is over!"
More favorite phrases: "My eyes would not have seen", "scary to look", "the light is not nice." Vision problems may begin, up to complete blindness.
Safe replacement: "I don't want to deal with this," "I'm uncomfortable."
If you say you “don’t want to hear it,” you will get hearing problems that can result in deafness.
Safe replacement: "I'm not interested in this."
You should not complain that you are “limping in both legs”, even if you are really very tired or your legs hurt. You can get serious problems with the lower limbs and the musculoskeletal system.
Safe replacement: "My legs are tired, I need to rest."
Finally, if you claim to be "shaken" or "bumped," you may become a victim of depression.
Safe substitution: "I'm not comfortable", "I'm worried."
Not to mention such phrases as “completely driven out”, “completely crushed” or “like a knife to the heart”. They speak for themselves.
Safe replacement: "They want too much of me", "Too many claims to me", "It makes me nervous."
How to get rid of "organic speech"?
This is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. Just watch your speech. At first, you can record conversations on a dictaphone, and then listen to them for analysis. If you find that "destructive" phrases often appear in your speech, then think about how and what to replace them. Practice several times, deliberately replacing these words.
If "forbidden" phrases disappear from your vocabulary, then, perhaps, your physical and mental well-being will improve significantly, and in the future you will avoid the development of various pathologies.
