So! Fanon tends to portray Sherlock as utterly indifferent to food, sleep and healthcare, if not violently opposed to them all, since his body is "just transport."
Let's subvert that a little, shall we?
Sherlock, while capable of ignoring his body's needs while actively pursuing a case, is a bit obsessive about his health and wellness at other times--after all, his transport requires proper maintenance to avoid a tedious (and boring) break-down. So in between sulks and experiments, he is meticulous about a specific exercise regimen, prepares his own multivitamens in the kitchen, and (since cooking is also boring) consumes elaborate and vaguely loathesome shakes involving things like powdered kale and raw eggs.
Oh, and if he even so much as suspects he might be coming down with an illness/injury, he badgers John about it incessantly (since all doctors are idiots, but John rather less so than others). Possibly this involves things Sherlock has looked up on WebMD.
TL;DR: Sherlock, when not distracted by shiny objects work, is

Amazing prompt is amazing and because I enjoy the mental image of Benedict Cumberbatch working out without a shirt I am going to try and fill it. Hope it's somewhat of what you wanted! +++ The first time John found out that Sherlock cared more about his health than he let on was when he was cleaning the kitchen. It was a cooler, fall Saturday, they had just finished a case, and Sherlock was on the couch with a vigorous pout. John just shrugged his behavior off, and went about busying himself in the kitchen to keep the boredom from spreading into his own veins. The second he picked up a small peitri dish from the counter [filled with some sort of greenish-blue substance John wasn't sure he wanted to know what it may have been], Sherlock leapt from the couch with astounding grace and swiftness, snatching the glass dish from the Doctor's hands

Okay! Have some more coffee-fueled BBC!Sherlock. Litte bit of S/J, but it's light just in case that pairing doesn't do it for you. o3o +++ The second time John saw that Sherlock cared about his actual well-being wasn't until a few days later. Still without a case, Sherlock was slowly driving John mad - if the sinewy detective was irritatingly brilliant while on a case, he was an absolute arse without one. His focus was all over the place, leaving half-done experiments about the flat; he nitpicked at the crowds outside the windows of 221B; the violin got plenty of abuse - and John somehow managed through it all, simply waiting the childlike behavior out as best he could. There was work for him at least, so there was time to escape and rant to Sarah about his obnoxious flatmate. She offered little sympathy however, for Sherlock was the reason they had split anyways

Sherlock would make his own vitamins. All of this is very... fitting. Very in character.

I am blushing SO HARD right now. That is my biggest fear - not getting them in character. That compliment has just... Oh golly gosh let me hug you.
Thanks! I take it you like it so far then? Hopefully I can get more out tomorrow - this prompt is ever so delicious.
