Trump weighs 239 pounds, Jackson said, three pounds more than he weighed in 2016. Standing at 6 feet, 3 inches, Trump is just below the "obese" range on the body mass index.
Since 2016, when Trump last released medical information, his overall cholesterol levels have increased from 169 to 223. The so-called "bad cholesterol" is now at 143, up from 94 during his last exam. And his blood pressure, at 122 over 74, is considered elevated.
"If you look at the areas where Dr. Jackson focused, on heart disease, which is understandable given the President's age, basically all of the numbers, the objective numbers that we could compare this year to last year, have become a little worse," said Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN chief medical correspondent. "He is gone in the wrong direction, and we're seeing now the impact in these particular tests of his lifestyle."
Jackson said Trump's heart exams, which included a stress test and an echocardiogram, were normal. But pressed by Gupta about calcium levels in Trump's arteries, Jackson conceded that those, too, were elevated
.I wonder what his calcium score was....
Jackson said that during the exam he and Trump discussed his diet, setting a goal of losing 10-15 pounds. The gym facilities in the White House residence will be renovated to Trump's specifications, Jackson said, and first lady Melania Trump will be enlisted to help him stick to the new regimen.
A nutritionist has been brought into the White House kitchens to consult with the chefs there on ways to limit Trump's intake of calories, including by cutting fats and carbohydrates. And Jackson has upped Trump's dosage of Crestor, a cholesterol-lowering statin.
Maybe LCHF???
