10,000 steps a day, 2 litres of water and 8 hours of sleep every night. These are just some of the long standing health mantras we're told to live by.

So is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? And just how many steps do we actually need to take to keep our health in check?

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Dr Brad McKay to discover the fact from fiction when it comes to our health.

Please seek advice from your medical practitioner before taking on any kind of medical and health advice.
