I been reading in various magazines lately the people tend to leave their Macs powered up all-day, everyday, but in Sleep mode. I was wondering whether this is entirely 'healthy' for the Mac or not?

It's fine. The machine itself has most components powered down or in low power mode and is designed for this sort of operation. The OS is designed to run 24x7.
