This kanji consists of the radical 亻 (a variant of 人, meaning person) and the phonetic component 建 (build, establish). Together, they suggest the idea of a person who is built or established strongly — hence, a healthy and vigorous person. Often appears in words related to physical health, youth, and wellness.

彼かれはとても健すこやかな体からだをしています。

健全けんぜんな考かんがえを持もちましょう。
Let’s have a sound and healthy way of thinking.
