I have two doubts concerning my sentence.
What adverb should I use?
It strongly/greatly/heavily influences on your health.
Should there be "on"?
 
I would use:

It affects your health greatly.
It has a great effect on your health.

With the verb influence, you could use any of those adverbs, but don't use on- use that with the noun (have an influence on). However, influence doesn't work for me with health- have an effect/impact, etc, work better.

(I guess the idea of 'on' occurred to you because it could be used after and adjective: 'has a strong/great/serious/deleterious... effect/influence on your health'.)
