Morphology
The meaning 'a positive effect on a person's physical or mental well-being' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'health' (state of being free from illness) with 'benefit' (an advantage or positive effect). This straightforward noun-noun composition is compositional and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Health benefit uses the simple picture of health, meaning your body and mind, and benefit, meaning a gift or something 'good for you'. So a health benefit is something that 'helps' your health or makes you feel better.
