L'Chaim is right, but not what you would usually say. L'Chaim is done when like making a toast. There are other ways of saying it like Tsugesoent and Tsuleven-those are expressions usually used after a person sneezes meaning, to your health. Betayavon would mean 'in good health', like when you are eating and you say the food is good, they would reply 'Betayavon'. Refuah Sheleima is what you would say to a sick person meaning feel better. The literal translation of 'good health' is 'Bari Tov'. (Bari meaning health and Tov meaning good). I hope I have answered your question :)

Soren's answer is correct when you hold up a glass to offer someone a toast.

"L'chaim" in hebrew (not "jewish") is "to life", which means "good health to you"
