05/08/25 - Breakfast Bites: Struggling to hit your daily step goal? Don't fret - 7,000 is the new 10,000!Hands up if you obsessively track your steps everyday, like me. Most of us have a famous goal - 10,000 steps a day.

But if you’ve been falling short, here’s some good news: you might not need that many after all! A brand-new global study found that 7,000 steps a day is the new golden number.
