Donald Trump's interview with Dr. Oz on his talk show is airing now, with the candidate saying that campaigning "in its own way, it's a pretty healthy act."
He said that gesticulating and speaking in front of large crowds turns very physical, and "a lot of times these rooms are very hot like saunas."
"I think when you're running for president, I think you have an obligation to be healthy. I just don't think you can do the work if you're not healthy," he said.
Trump talked about his medical history and noted his only trip to the hospital was when he had an appendectomy at age 11. He said that if he had been hospitalized recently, "it's going to be out there bigly."
"I feel as good today as I did when I was 30," he said.
The appearance on "The Dr. Oz Show" was taped on Wednesday and aired today.
The latest preview clip shows the Republican presidential candidate telling Dr. Mehmet Oz that he would like to "lose a little weight."
Trump shared the results of a recent physical exam during a taping of the talk show, with Oz reading from a summary of exam results that Trump is 6-foot, 3-inches tall and weighs 236 pounds.
"I think if I had one thing, I'd like to lose weight. It's tough because of the way I live, but the one thing I would like to do is be able to drop 15, 20 pounds. It would be good," Trump said in one of the clips that was released early.
Trump has been pictured several times eating fast food on the campaign trail.
Hours earlier, his campaign has released the latest letter from the candidate's personal doctor which states that the GOP nominee "is in excellent physical health."
The campaign described the information as medical records, but it only consisted of a one-page letter from Dr. Harold Bornstein and a letter from Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City which shows that Bornstein had been reappointed to its staff and has clinical privileges at the hospital.
The cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels listed in the letter were obtained during a physical exam that Trump had on Friday Sept. 9.
His blood pressure and cholesterol levels are within normal levels, as is his testosterone level.
The letter listed that Trump had a echocardiogram of his heart and a chest x-ray performed, but did not disclose why these tests were performed. While he has talked about members of his family who have grappled with alcoholism or Alzheimer's disease, the letter did not address this in the mention of his family health history. The letter also did not mention his current mental health.
He takes statins, which are used to lower cholesterol levels, but those are commonly taken by people over the age of 60.
His Body Mass Index is 29.5 which is considered overweight. A person is considered obese when the BMI is 30 or above.
The medications which Trump is listed as taking are a lipid-lowering agent and a low dose of aspirin.
