Joe Biden (born November 20, 1942) is an American politician and the president-elect of the United States.
Joe Biden is a “healthy, vigorous, 77-year-old male … fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency”, the former vice-president’s doctor said in records released by his campaign on Tuesday.Biden “does not use any tobacco products, does not drink alcohol at all, and he works out at least five days per week”, Dr Kevin C O’Connor added.
According to Biden: “I do three things. I bike, treadmill and I lift. I have the doctor who is the fellow — when you get to the White House, you get a medical doc who gets assigned to you and one of them was a colonel in the United States Army who, when I had a separated shoulder and I ended up having an operation — seven screws put in the shoulder to put it back together again, doing therapy. And he sends me — if I had my phone, I’d show you — he sends me every morning, every morning, an exercise routine, and I do it every morning. I’m not in bad shape.”
Last year, Biden’s brother called a SiriusXM political talk show and made the claim that the senior citizen ex-senator can bench press multiple reps of 185 pounds.)
He also exercises on a rowing machine and Peloton bike, according to the campaign. His eating habits include fruit juice and Greek yogurt for breakfast and salads with protein—usually fish—for lunch and dinner. Biden also indulges in the occasional pasta and red sauce and ice cream.
