JERUSALEM (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush advised Israel's hefty Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Tuesday to watch what he eats and get more exercise after wishing him speedy recovery from a mild stroke, Sharon's office said.
"I need you to be healthy," Bush told Sharon in a telephone call after the 77-year-old Israeli leader was released from two days in hospital, Sharon's office said in a statement that translated Bush's remarks into Hebrew.
"Watch what you eat, and start getting some exercise and cutting down on the number of work hours," Bush urged the ex-general, known for his considerable girth and long days on the job. Bush is known for getting early nights.
Bush said he had grown weary just listening to Sharon once recount the amount of work he did in a day, and that he hoped to see results of a weight loss program when the two leaders next meet -- possibly in February.
"Be careful, my friend," the U.S. leader implored Sharon, adding that in order for them "to defeat terrorism together, the prime minister has to be out of the hospital".
In Washington, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush had called Sharon to say he was glad the prime minister was out of hospital. He did not give further details.
Sharon's spokesmen said he told Bush the prime minister would rest for a few days at home then return to work as soon as possible.
Doctors have said Sharon would make a full recovery. His health scare on Sunday shook Israel and raised questions over how long he could continue to dominate Israeli politics.
Ask The EXPERT, George Bush !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
