Mornings set your chemistry for the day. In the alkaline lifestyle, the goal is simple: hydrate, remineralize, oxygenate, and calm the nervous system so energy flows without stimulants. Here’s a practical morning sequence that aligns with Dr. Sebi’s principles and works in real life.
Why Mornings Matter
Overnight, the body detoxifies and repairs. Your first choices either continue that cleansing or clog it. Alkaline mornings prioritize spring water, mineral‑rich plants, gentle herbs, and light movement to keep lymph and blood moving.
The 6‑Pillar Alkaline Morning
- Hydrate: Warm key lime water on waking.
- Oxygenate: Slow nasal breathing; brief sunlight.
- Remineralize: Sea‑moss smoothie or mineral tea.
- Move: 5–10 minutes of mobility or walking.
- Fuel: Light breakfast built on fruit and greens from Dr. Sebi's Food List.
- Focus: Plan the day after breathing and drinking water.
