Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, talking about health and daily routines is common, especially among friends who share tips for a balanced life. Using "útiles" conveys a slightly formal tone; for a more relaxed vibe you could say "geniales" or "muy buenos". Remember that "ser" (son) is used for qualities that are seen as inherent, while "estar" would imply a temporary state (e.g., "están útiles" would sound odd here).
