Sharon leaves hospital Netanyahu to lead Likud Sharon doing well Likud to replace Sharon Sharon resting after stroke Sharon suffers 'minor stroke' Sharon pledges peace

Jerusalem - United States President George W Bush urged Ariel Sharon to adopt a healthier diet as he rang to offer his best wishes to the portly Israeli premier after his mild stroke, public radio reported on Tuesday.

"Begin to do some exercise, eat healthily, with no fat, and sleep well," Bush was reported to have told the 77-year-old Israeli leader in a phone conversation shortly after Sharon's release from hospital.

"When I read about your daily schedule, I get tired just looking at it," added Bush.

Sharon has long been known for his voracious appetite. According to a report in the Maariv daily, the prime minister had feasted on a meal of kebabs, steaks in sauce, lamb ribs, more skewered meat, salads and chocolate cake before his health scare on Sunday evening.
