No way.: There is no general way to boost your immune system other than to eat well, sleep well and live well. There is some evidence that chronic stress can weaken immune response, but no specific evidence that that is the cause of disease. Specific boosting of your immune system is done all the time with immunizations and with exposure to antigens in your environment.

Immune system: Life style and diet certainly effects your immune system. You are working very hard, but i would find a way to take a few snacks during the day e.g. A handful of nuts or a health bar. Try to find a way to get more sleep or try to take a nap. Take a multivitamin daily.

U R hurting yourself: Many people are looking for some "magic pill" to "boost their immune system". There is no such pill. However, there is a way to boost your immune system, live a healthy lifestyle. Proper diet, proper sleep- wake cycles, healthy environment, proper exercise are the foundation of good health and good immune health. Supplements should be used selectively to supplement a healthy diet.
