The part about healthy body refers to "working a lot and eating a lot, which result in strong biceps and abdominal muscles". I can't say if she gained this in volume 8 but I find more believable to think she gained this gradually through her farmer's life.

The "5 strongest" refers exclusively to humans. Goblins and others are excluded are excluded.

From what I read so far of volume 8, villagers "can" fight but more in a "we are not helpless peasants anymore" way than in an trully effective one. It is true though they face an opposition (ogres) far more powerful than "simple" human warriors. Goblins do the real combat. As this is from a really quick reading of the book I think it's better to wait for more official translations.
