Is "how is your body" correct English for asking about somebody's health after recovering from an illness?

It's grammatically correct, but asking "How is your body?" almost sounds suggestive.
It would be best to say "How is your leg (or whatever is ailing them)?" Or simply say "How are you feeling?" or "How are you doing?" or "Are you feeling better?"

Grammatically, yes- but it's likely to sound awkward. Typically, you'd ask about the specific problem; e. g., "How's your arm?" for an arm injury. For more "whole body" stuff, you'd usually say "how are you doing?".

When I was first learning English I used to get mixed up as well. Just ask "how are you feeling"?

"how are you holding up?"

"how are you feeling?"

"do you feel better now?"

seem more appropriate.

No. "How is your body" may make sense after an injury to the torso, but after an illness you'd probably say "How are you feeling?"

The words are correct English, if you intended to ask it that way but, what you SHOULD be asking is, "How are you doing, today? Are you feeling any better?"

"Hi, how are you?" They will tell you what they want you to know.

are you healthy again is more common i guess. how is your body sounds a bit sexual i think
