Summer is here, and staying hydrated should always be number on your list especially during the hot months. If we are not properly hydrated our physical performance can suffer greatly. Summertime heat can put you at risk of heat illnesses if you don’t take the proper precautions. Whether you’re inside or outside, you should be aware of the heat and humidity and how your body is reacting to it. Keeping on track doesn’t have to be a big deal. You can make simple changes that will remind you to drink more water or eat more fruits that contain lots of water. Simple change could be as little as leaving yourself post-it notes on the desk, the fridge, in the car and more.
Creative Ways To Stay Hydrated This Summer
Speak With A Amwell Doctor: Let’s face it, most of us moms just don’t have the time to see a Dr. to ask a few questions about things such as hydration. However important it may be we may keep putting it of. Getting sick can even be tougher to go to the doctor’s office. With Amwell, you are able to see a doc right away without leaving the house. No worries of traffic, waiting rooms, or rescheduling. All you need is smartphone, tablet or computer to see a doctor via Amwell. American Well (Amwell) is positioning itself to be ‘the Amazon of health care’. This is amazing to me and will save me so much time and money. Use Amwell to see a doctor anytime on your iPhone or iPad. Amwell brings healthcare home, so that you and your family can feel better, faster. Doctors on Amwell are board certified, with an average of 15 years in practice. Plus Amwell doctors are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are dedicated to keeping us healthy with no appointment needed? I think most of us can agree that going to the Dr. isn’t fun. It’s actually something I not only avoid way too much, but I dislike it even more when I am sick and don’t feel up to going. I would much rather see one from the comfort of my home.

I was very pleased and excited at the same time. I was able to download the Amwell app, fill out a few questions, choose a Dr., wait a couple minutes for the Dr while she reviewed my information, and before I knew it she was right there to answer my questions.
Reason why many people choose Amwell or the tradition Drs. office visit:
Lower cost. Consumers expect online visits to be cost-savers; with in-office visits costing, on average, $82 for first-time patients according to the Healthcare Blue Book, Amwell offers a $49 physician visit – a savings of $33. Great option for students in college looking for cost-effective healthcare or those between jobs and without insurance.
Accessibility. After hours, on weekends and in the middle of the night (24/7/365) availability. Great for those who do have transportation or when you don’t feel well enough to drive and those who are newly relocated and don’t have providers yet.
Convenience. Consumers are looking for a faster appointment. Now they don’t need to schedule an appointment nor do they need to wait to be seen, especially if on vacation or business travel. The doctor can be seen from the comfort and convenience of their own home.
Quick prescriptions. Consumers would rather have an online video visit than an in-office visit to obtain common primary care prescriptions.
Peace of mind. Rather than self-diagnosing or visiting a social forum for medical advice, users can obtain second opinions directly from board certified, licensed doctors.
After my super short Dr’s visit using the Amwell app, I received answers to all of my questions and concerns. General conditions Amwell doctors encounter include: minor illnesses and injuries, general health and wellness concerns, prescription refills, and chronic condition management.

These are great tips! With so much running around in the summer it’s definitely difficult to make sure you stay hydrated! Great post!
It’s so hard to stay hydrated in the summer. Thank you for sharing this!
We are always so quick to Google things up first and then panicking. A lot of times I just have some simple questions and would hate to leave the house only to be told all I need is rest lol I love the concept of Amwell.
That’s one of the things I love most about it.
I don’t drink a lot of water. However, I like drinking lemonade.
Take small steps and try adding things to the water and before you know it, you will be drinking more water.
Sounds like a great service! So convenient and useful ! Love it
Yes it truly is.
Watermelon. We love watermelon. I learned the importance of hydration in the Army and the lessons there always stuck with me. They never gave us watermelon though. 🙁
I wish they would teach more of this in schools. Yes watermelon is a great way to hydrate.
My daughter doesn’t like drinking water but, she likes lemonade so we go through bags of lemon like crazy. That’s a great way to sneak some water into her system.
Whatever works to get them drinking more water is great!
Great reminders, as we have a lot of summer left to go. I am now a fan of fruit infused water and carry my bottle with me. It has helped during these hotter months.
I try o bring mine along when I go out too.
I never drink enough water! Thanks for the alternative ideas!
You are very welcome. Thank you.
I am big on drinking lemon and water. I believe I was doing it before it became a really big thing to do. I do want to try watermelon to see how it does after soaking over night.
I love just juicing the watermelon. It 80% water and taste so god and refreshing,
My mom has never been a big fan of drinking water or any beverages so we always worry about her becoming dehydrated especially in the summer. I’ll have to keep her stocked with watermelon and cucumbers so she can increase her fluids that way.
That’s a great way to sneak it in.
My husband and I have taken to drinking lemon water this summer. I tend to drink a lot more water this way.
I use to like lemon water now I am stuck on Key lime water.
Staying hydrated is so important, especially during the summer. We try to drink plenty of water and tea throughout the day. We also enjoy fruity ice pops!
I agree, and we love fruit pops.
These are some great tips for staying hydrated!
Thank you very much.
Amwell is such a cool service. I think it was about a year ago the last time I used them.
Be sure and tell friends so they can take advantage of the $1 for the first visit.
Amwell seems pretty awesome! I never realized how much water was in a watermelon until I watched my 2 year old eat it. lol. It is messy, but really delicious!
Watermelon is so hydrating and good for you.
Sounds like Amwell is really easy and very convenient to use. So perfect for busy individuals or those who are always on the go.
It is and it only takes a couple minutes to down load and sign up.
AmWell is a great service. I love how convenient it is to use, because I don’t feel like getting out and going to the doctor when I’m sick. What a catch-22 right?
Yes, I know the feeling.
In the hot summer months, staying hydrated is key. We tend to forget but it does catch up with us. I alway carry a bottle of water as I have little ones.
Great idea.
What a great list of ways to stay hydrated. I will be trying some of these options out!
Thank you. Stay hydrated.
I have heard great things about Amwell though not sure we have it in the UK.
I am loving your creative ways of staying hydrated, I am bad at drinking water so teas and smoothies are my ways
I wonder if you can still use it since it’s just an app with Live Drs? Hmm very good question. I shall find out.
I really need to get better about drinking the right amount of water!!! Love these ways to get hydrated in the summer.
Once small step at a time and you will get it.
This is an awesome post! Where I live it is HOT all the time so we need a lot of drinks to stay hydrated! This gives me more ideas than just water or juice.
Same here. We live in FL and it’s about 80 pretty much year round.
My son has to be the most hydrated kid on the planet. We have a water cooler and I have to buy refills every week. Amwell is a brilliant idea when you can’t get to a doctor.
That’s wonderful. We do kinda the same thing but my 3 children use it and we have to replace it about every 3 or 4 days.
I’ve never heard of Amwell before. So happy to learn about the service. I have five kids and someone is always sick or hurt! It’s such a pain to take everyone out to the dr’s office when needed.
I am glad you had a chance to find and read this post, because it sounds like you would truly benefit from Amwell.
I’ve used Amwell for a sinus infection that came back with a vengeance on a Saturday. It was so convenient and such a great experience.
I have used my before and I feel it is an incredibly useful service. Thank you for reminding me about it as the summertime is the perfect time to use such a service.
Be sure to take advantage of the $1 service coupon code.
You are welcome. Don’t forget to use this code for a $1 visit.
These are some really awesome tips for staying hydrated! I drank some lemon water today!
Thank you. I love lime water myself.
This is a great service! I agree that Moms don’t have time to see Dr and if I do it tends to be distracted by the chidlren that I don’t get to ask all my questions.
That’s my biggest issues as well. That makes this service great fro our family.
Great ideas, I really need to get creative with my boys. They say water is sooo boring 🙂
It was tough for my little one, but what I did eventually was not buy anything but water to drink.
I love Amwell for how easy and convenient it is. I don’t have the time to run to the Dr with a toddler, so this is ideal for me.
Me too. It really is a great service to have. I also love that it’s free to down load and the visits are so much cheaper.
What a great list of ways to stay hydrated this Summer. I will most certainly be using these tips!
Thank you very much.
Staying hydrated is very important, especially over the summer!
Yes indeed in really is. Thank you.
It is so important that we keep our body hydrated. I haven’t tried Amwell but sounds great.
You are so right. Make sure you get a chance to check it out. It’s well worth it. Plus we have a code listed that will save you big.
Wow, I love Amwell because of the convenience. I heard a lot of great news about it.
Me too. I think this is a great company, and has made things so much easier.
I hear a lot of great reviews about Amwell. This is really nice especially if you can’t go out due to the bad weather.
I agree, because many people could be in that situation or even disabled and not able to leave all the time.
I added the drinking water app on my phone. It reminds me every 45 min to drink a glass of water. No I don’t do it every 45min, but it reminds me to DRINK!
That’s a really great idea. I should tell my hubby about that app. He needs it badly.
These are excellent ways to push the water. I make sure I add a ton of ice to all my drinks. It is so hot here, you need extra water during the summer time.
Thank you so much. Keeping cool is so important.
Staying hydrated, especially in humid Chicago, is always a top priority for us in the summer. Will definitely be keeping Amwell on my radar once cold and flu season starts.
That’s a great idea. With school starting soon it will be good to have it ready.
I have been meaning to check this out. These are great ways to stay hydrated this Summer. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words.
Water is about the only think I drink, so I can stay hydrated easily. I also have to say that I love Amwell. It’s nice for when you can’t get to the doctors.
Same here. It’s the only thing I now drink.
Staying hydrated this summer is soooo important!! These are all great tips!!
Thank you.
Stay hydrated during these very hot summer months is extremely important. My husband suffered from heat exhaustion while running and passed out. Thank you for sharing the tips. Fruit smoothies are a delicious way to stay hydrated and my favorite lol. We also love fruit infused water. I will definitely look into the Atwell doctor, as I never heard of this opportunity/option.
It’s a great app and worth the time to check out. Thank you very much.
I didn’t know about the online Amwell Doctor. It’s nice to have a doctor from home to help. Thanks for sharing the useful tips on the alternative sources of water.
You are welcome. Be sure to use the code that will get you the first visit for only $1.
Staying hydrated during the summer is so important. Especially when the kids are outside and exercising, it’s very important to make sure everyone drinks enough and replenishes electrolytes. Thanks for this important reminder.
You are welcome.
It is definitely important to stay hydrated. I love Amwell products.
Thank you. However Amwell doesn’t have products. What it is, is a Dr. on call no matter where you are. You can see a real Dr. using the Amwell app 24/7.
That service is fantastic, especially when traveling. I’m so glad they began to do this virtual doctor thing!
Me to. It really is a wonderful thing, and a great way to have peace of mind when traveling.
These are all great ways to hydrate during the summer months. We always get watermelon because it is a great source to get water but also a tasty way too. Thanks for sharing the list of hydrating during the summer months.
You are very welcome.
It’s so easy to forget to stay hydrated in the summer. I have to remind myself to drink sometimes. It’s nice to have the Amwell app handy should you need some extra tips or have questions about your health.
Thank you and I agree. Love these types of apps. Stay hydrated 🙂
What an awesome app. I can think of many times this app would be useful!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the post.
I haven’t used Amwell yet. I do love telehealth apps like this. It makes seeing a doctor super easy.
I love Amwell. Very easy to use and quick to see a Dr, right away. I love that there are all of these news apps!
Dehydration can cause liver issue or liver damage as well. It is really a serious concern that most many ignore. Thanks you for sharing these methods; very informative and helpful post.
I agree, there are so many terrible things dehydration can cause us. It’s so very important.
Flavoured water is the way to go for me. I get so bored with just water I have to force myself to drink it. But, with flavoured water I really don’t have to!
I enjoy flavored water as well.
This is a great post! I never really thought of the creative ways to stay hydrated. It is very important to stay hydrated in the summer due to the heat. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Being stuck in a waiting room with sick kids is awful. Its so nice that amwell offers an alternative.
Oh my gosh yes! I am so happy about finding out about Amwell. It makes life so much easier.
I have been working on increasing my water intake and slowly getting better. I really enjoy infusing my water with my favorite fruits.
Just keep working at it you will get there. I love infused water. So good.
I’ve been trying to up my water, as well. I’m terrible at it, because I just don’t like plain water. These tips are super exciting for me!
I’m glad these tips get you excited. Water is so important fro our bodies.
The heat can be unbearable and it could also be a risk to your health! It’s important to make sure you’re hydrated at all time and aside from the usual things that we do to stay hydrated, it’s great to have a doctor that you can talk to any time especially when you’re at home!
I can’t agree with you more. Thank you
These alternative ways to drink water are great!
Thank you. Be sure and check out Amwell for a very low cost of only $1 for a DR’s visit.
Thank you for the great tips. I need to try and drink more water daily.
No problem. Thank you for the comment. My goal each day is at least a gallon of water. Some times I read it. Sometimes I don’t. Just take small steps each day.
I must be living under a rock lol. I love this idea and had no clue we could see a DR. so easily. Thank you for the code.
Ha! No, not at all. I didn’t find out about Amwell till last year. That’s why I love sharing stuff like this that is valuable to my readers.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I really need to get to the Dr. and have been putting it off due to family stuff. I had no idea you could see a Dr. online!
You are welcome. I tend to put my off as well, because of family things going on. This is so much easier.
