Let's take a healthy break for some health updates

Traveling often can be such hard work, don't you think? So, let's just get a little distraction before moving on again; in the form of some important health-related updates in the past week.

Did you hear about how another Jamaican beat Asafa Powell's 100 metres sprint world record? That's right, the new world record holder's name is Usain Bolt!

He clocked 9.72 seconds, two hundredths of a second faster than the old record. He did it without the aid of any chemical substances, except a strict diet and training, of course.

I was a specialist in that athletic discipline in High School, so I am very interested in such athletics results that show the shifting of the self-inflicted physical limits placed on human performance in sports.
