The White House released the results of President Donald Trump's May physical late on Friday evening (local time), sharing a memo from his physician recommending he lose weight and exercise more while noting he is in excellent health.
"President Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function," White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella wrote in a letter addressed to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
"Cognitive and physical performance are excellent. He is fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State."

Barbabella wrote, "Preventive counselling was provided," during the Tuesday exam, "including guidance on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss."
Trump's visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre on Tuesday marked the third time he's visited the facility for a medical exam since becoming the oldest president ever inaugurated last year.
Meanwhile Senior Pentagon leaders are putting together lists of uniformed US service members who will be offered the chance to attend the UFC fight at the White House next month hosted by President Donald Trump
But tickets will only be given to those who meet military body composition standards, according to guidance memos reviewed by CNN and sources familiar with the process.

"Ticket recipients are required to meet the DOW waist-to-height ratio standard of less than 0.55, as well as all service specific physical fitness test requirements," one of the memos sent to service members says, using the Pentagon's preferred acronym for the agency.
That figure is roughly in line with standards for service members that the Defence Department put in place earlier this year when it made waist-to-height ratio the new body composition standard for measuring a service member's "warfighting readiness."
