Hi
Please tell me if this is OK.

She is unhealthy.

It's not wrong, but it is not often said this way. If you are talking about a current health problem you would usually say She is sick , or She is ill . If you are talking in more general terms you would probably say something like She has health problems , or She is in poor health, or Her health is bad/poor.

It's not the usual expression.

She's not healthy.

Compare with:
Eating too much fried food is unhealthy.
Her attitude towards food is unhealthy.
