Fine [not before noun] (not used in negative statements) (rather informal) completely well: ‘How are you?’ ‘Fine, thanks.’ Fine is used especially to talk about your health, especially when sb asks you how you are.

Healthy in good health and not likely to become ill: Keep healthy by exercising regularly.
Strong In good health and not suffering from an illness: After a few weeks she was feeling stronger. Strong Is often used to talk about becoming healthy again after an Illness.
Fit (especially BrE) in good physical health, especially because you take regular physical exercise: I go swimming every day in order to keep fit.
ALL RIGHT OR OK?
These words are slightly less positive than the other words in this group. They are both used in spoken English to talk about not actually being III or Injured, rather than being positively in good health. Both are rather informal but OK is slightly more Informal than all right.
