US President Donald Trump’s doctor said he was in “excellent health” but advised him to lose weight, according to a memo released on Friday after the 79-year-old underwent a routine medical check.
“President Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function,” said Trump’s doctor, US Navy Captain Sean Barbabella.
“Preventative counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss.”
The three-page memo provides an overview of Trump’s physical examination and diagnostic testing conducted at Walter Reed Medical Hospital near Washington on Tuesday.
