healthfulness

State of wholesomeness

Healthfulness is the quality of being conducive to good health.

The word applies to foods, habits, environments, or lifestyles that promote physical well-being: the healthfulness of a Mediterranean diet, questioning the healthfulness of living near power lines.

It's the noun form of healthful, which some insist should describe things that promote health (healthful food) rather than things possessing health (healthy people)—a distinction rarely observed in practice.
