In reply to SamirBecic. And apparently you are scared to publish Gary Johnson's grade since he is the only third party candidate that poses a threat.

In reply to Diane P.

I met Bernie Sanders last week in San Jose. Shook his hand and asked him how he was doing. I believed him when he said, “I’m good”!

He was more vibrant in person than I had expected. He’s like the Energizer Bunny!

Looking at the Grades the others received, I’d say Bernie is a strong B/B+!

Regardless of his age. (Let’s not let Ageism affect us) Being healthy is vital for our country’s leader!

I would speculate that he probably has the lowest BMI of the 3 major candidates remaining in the race.

Sanders has most certainly traveled and campaigned more than Trump or Clinton. Clinton goes to posh $35,000/plate rallies in very wealthy homes. Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee and really doesn’t even have to go anywhere at this stage with his competition bowing out! And both Trump and Clinton have much better modes of transportation. I’d bet both have some form of a sleeping area/ quarters on their planes as to where Sanders is flying on Southwest!

Bernie was out in the Fairgrounds with thousands in attendance in 90° weather and no shade! It didn’t bother him one bit. I didn’t even see him sweat!

I’d personally rank Sanders, despite his age, over Trump and Clinton. He is trimmer than both portly Trump and Clinton and I believe Sanders is the most fit of the 3.

If you are rating people’s fitness and want to be taken seriously, then I’d suggest basing it on evidence based practice. Stating that because someone has adopted a paleo diet is promoting better health is inaccurate and not evidence based. As well, taking lots of supplements, or tea instead of coffee, are not considered legitimate improved health practices. Coffee has a number of health benefits, as does tea, when consumed in moderation. Most supplements are a waste of money and a whole food diet is far superior, supplements are needed for specific situations but should not be considered necessary overall for most people (other than folic acid in pregnancy, and vitamin D for all Canadians and Americans in the northern US where sun is limited in the winter). Eating moderate amounts of whole grain carb’s, is a recommended practice (it is not necessary to avoid all starchy foods at all times), and diet soda has not been proven to be a health concerns by scientific evidence so is acceptable in small to moderate quantities. There is a lot of misinformation presented in your report card unfortunately and rather than being helpful, you’ve managed to reinforce misinformation to the unknowing public.

In reply to Sovereign Mary. Hi Mary, Thank you for reading the article! We are a politically unbiased organization that focuses on health and fitness, which is why we did a fitness reportcard on the candidates.

I’d much more prefer a Fitness Report Card on the candidates knowledge and how they would adhere to the U.S. Constitution or whether they would let their ego’s run amuck and thus violate and usurp their sacred oath by acting superior to this nation’s ONLY Supreme Rule of Law.
