| This week, as you sit back and say “ooh” and “ahh” at the fireworks overhead, here’s a wild thought: Your body creates and releases energy in much the same way. Fireworks are powered by ions, compounds, and elemental energy, just like you are. That explosive lift that sends them flying into the sky? It comes from KNO₃(potassium nitrate)—a blend of potassium, nitrogen, and oxygen—the very elements flowing through your cells right now. And those dazzling colors? They’re not just for show. Each hue is the result of unique frequencies emitted by elements as they’re energized. What’s wild is these elements are minerals that you’ll find in your body and in your mineral salt, like Redmond’s Real Salt. In other words, each metal has a fingerprint, and when heat hits, it shines—literally. Here’s how:🎇 ColorElementCompound(s)Blue-GreenCopperCopper acetoarsenite, copper (I) chlorideVioletPotassiumPotassium chlorideRedLithiumLithium carbonateCrimsonStrontiumStrontium carbonateOrangeCalciumCalcium chloride, calcium sulfateYellow-GreenBariumBarium chlorideYellowSodiumSodium nitrate, cryolite These aren’t just bursts of pigment—they’re frequencies, signatures of the ions involved. In fact, like fireworks, you emit frequencies too—ever notice how some people “light up a room”? Even the Earth emits a frequency: the Schumann resonance. You are a walking, breathing, frequency-powered energy system. But here’s the catch: As you’re sweating on hot days, especially over 40, it’s easy to burn out. Why? Because your electrolytes—sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium—get depleted, and your spark dims. These minerals help your cells fire, your muscles contract, and your metabolism stay lit. Just like fireworks need the right chemical balance to ignite, your body needs the right electrolyte balance to energize. 💧Here’s your Firework-Energy Checklist for Hot Days:✅ Hydrate smart – sip on coconut water, add electrolytes to your water or grab water with them in it✅ Eat mineral-rich foods – think watermelon with sea salt, sautéed greens, bone broth✅ Limit alcohol – it depletes electrolytes fast (even “just one”)✅ Don’t skip meals – you need fuel to make fire✅ Work out wisely – sweat = mineral loss, so replenish before/after or during So when you watch the sky light up this week, remember: You’re made of the same elemental power as that dazzling display. Treat your body like the firework it is—fuel it well and let it shine. Stay cool and stay lit (in the cellular sense 😉), Dr. J Krause PS: Looking for a podcast to listen to?
