First, health means ‘salud’ so we can translate ‘el sistema de salud’
with ‘the health service’. We can also say ‘do you have good health?’
for ‘¿Tienes buena salud?’.
Second, and this is the most problematic area with our English students, is that ‘saludable/sano’ means ‘healthy’ and these are all
adjectives. Thus, we can say ‘the food is healthy’ or ‘it is healthy to
go hiking’. However, since ‘sano’ or ‘saludable’ can also be adverbs
such as in sentences like ‘como sano/saludable’, students often say
‘I eat healthy’. Unfortunately, this is incorrect and we must implement
the adverb form of the word in English which is ‘healthily’. Therefore,
the correct sentence would be ‘I eat healthily’.
Lastly,
if we want to say something will do your body good we would often
inplement the following phrase: ‘it’s good for your health’. This
sentence could refer to the person/people you are conversing with or it
could talk about the health of people in society in general.
