Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Well Mononucleosis is a viral infection which doesn't spread through any food or water. Hence there is no such diet which can claim to be directly helpful for preventing flair-ups .

But the recurrent infection or flair ups indicate low immunity of the body and to increase the immunity you can take food rich in anti-oxidants like Lemon , Orange, Pomogranate, Garlic, Almonds, Carrots, Beetroot, Tomato.

Drink Plenty of water and do aerobic exercise like Jogging or cycling or even Yoga is also good .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
