• Synonym健康けんこうNeutralThe everyday word for health. 「ヘルス」 on its own often suggests a massage parlor, so it is mostly used in compounds such as 「ヘルスケア」.
• Related具合ぐあいNeutralRefers to one's physical condition, as in 「具合が悪い」. Common in speech, and focuses on how you are at the moment.
• Related健全さNeutralThe degree of being sound or wholesome; often said of mental and physical soundness or of finances. More formal than 「ヘルス」.
• Related健康さNeutralA nominalized form meaning the degree of health; used less often.

For health in general use 「健康」; for how someone is feeling use 「具合」. Avoid 「ヘルス」 alone, which suggests a massage parlor—keep it in compounds like 「ヘルスケア」.
