Morphology
The meaning 'a state in which both mental and physical health are good' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'healthy' (having good health) with 'mind' and 'body' joined by 'and' to indicate both domains. This is a straightforward compositional phrase with clear cross-linguistic parallels, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will understand it.
Etymology
The phrase healthy mind and body paints a picture of two connected parts, the mind, your thoughts, and the body, your physical self. If both parts are cared for with good food, exercise, rest and calm thinking, the person is 'healthy' in both ways, so the phrase means being well in both mental and physical health.
