The books

Each book stands on its own. If you are new to the series, The Hydration Trap is a good place to start. All are by Raymond Koekemoer, and all are educational, not medical advice.

The Hydration Trap

Why You’re Drinking Plenty of Water and Still Struggling With Bloating, Constipation, and Dry Skin After 50

The book that starts the series. It looks at why more water does not always bring comfort after 50, and what warmth, timing, and a little gentle fat may change. It ends with a simple plan you build from your own observations.
