Shimon Peres is apparently in great physical shape.
Peres turns 80 on Saturday but still carries himself like a man in the prime of life, standing straight and walking confidently, his trademark swept-back gray hair only marginally thinner than in years past.
“They sent me for a checkup and it turns out that I am as healthy as an ox from every aspect – my heart, my body, my pulse,” he told Israel TV.
