Synonyms wellwell

all right
OK
fine
healthy
strong
fit

These words all describe somebody who is not ill and is in good health.

well
[not usually before noun] (rather informal) in good health:
- I’m not feeling very well.我感觉身体不太好。
- Is he well enough to travel?他身体怎么样，能够旅行吗？
Well is used especially to talk about your own health, to ask somebody about their health or to make a comment on it.
all right
[not before noun] (rather informal) not feeling ill; not injured:
- Are you feeling all right?你感觉还好吗？
OK
[not before noun] (informal) not feeling ill; not injured:
- She says she’s OK now, and will be back at work tomorrow.她说她现在身体还可以，明天就回来上班。

all right or ok?用 all right 还是 OK？These words are slightly less positive than the other words in this group. They are both used in spoken English to talk about not actually being ill or injured, rather than being positively in good health. Both are rather informal but OK is slightly more informal than all right.

fine
[not before noun] (not used in negative statements) (rather informal) completely well:
- ‘How are you?’ ‘Fine, thanks.’“你好吗？”“很好，谢谢。”
Fine is used especially to talk about your health, especially when somebody asks you how you are. It is also used to talk about somebody’s health when you are talking to somebody else. Unlike well it is not often used to ask somebody about their health or make a comment on it: Are you keeping fine?
healthy
in good health and not likely to become ill:
- Keep healthy by exercising regularly.经常锻炼以保持健康。
strong
in good health and not suffering from an illness:
- After a few weeks she was feeling stronger.几周之后她感觉身体好些了。
Strong is often used to talk about becoming healthy again after an illness.
fit
(especially British English) in good physical health, especially because you take regular physical exercise:指健壮，尤指因经常锻炼而身体健康：
- I go swimming every day in order to keep fit.我每天游泳以保持健康。
