Finding ways to stay cool should be a top priority if you must deal with high temperatures. Experts advise that staying indoors in the hottest part of the day, between 2 and 6 p.m., is probably the best option. However, if the warmer weather calls you to take a bike ride or hike, take extra precautions, including frequent rests in cool places, wearing sunscreen and keeping hydrated. Hydration is especially important during the summer months because we sweat more.

"Staying hydrated during the warm summer months is an important part of enjoying the season," the Mayo Clinic said. "Whether your plans include more walks or bicycle rides, soaking up the sun, or taking that long-awaited vacation, make sure you drink enough water to stay hydrated. This is necessary as it will keep your body — and mind — functioning at its best."

 We've selected ten picks to help you stay hydrated during those hot summer days:

Fruit infuser water bottle
