When you build your immune system, you increase your vitality. Vitality depends on how many resources your body has to resist infections and help with other things like dealing with stress. You build vitality and your immune system by eating a healthy diet, taking certain supplements, drinking plenty of water, getting enough sleep, and learning to manage stress. Things that affect vitality and your immune system include smoking, excessive drinking, eating sweets, fried food, little sleep, and letting your emotions overwhelm you.
