I might be wrong, but the Buddhist Metta Bhavana says: May you be well, May you be happy, May you be free from suffering.

No health involved. But I guess to "be well" includes to "be healthy."

Yes, for being virtuous someone needs a body and a good part of health at least mental health. Maybe the Stoics do‘t like to recognize this 🙃 Like the Epicureans say: …. and it is not possible to lead a prudent, honorable, just life without living a pleasant life…. ( Letter Menoceus) which includes necessary natural desires for Life/ Body
