Kevin Jonas, the eldest of the teenage heartthrob trio, The Jonas Brothers, has dreams of being in the White House. But not necessarily in the Oval Office. No, Kevin dreams of bowling at the White House. He said, "I know there's a bowling alley. And if I ever got the honor to bowl at the White House...."

It's not such a far-fetched goal. The Jonas Brothers are performing at a January 19th Inauguration concert hosted by Michelle Obama. Plus, the brothers met Malia and Sasha Obama when they were on the set of the Ellen show; the famous siblings played ping-pong together. (In case you were wondering -- the girls won.)

It looks to me like you've got a couple ins to the White House lanes, Kevin. While the rest of us are more likely to bowl a perfect game than bowl at the White House, it's not a bad choice for a weekend activity. It's certainly no replacement for your fitness routine, but bowling is not without some fitness perks.

Still stuck on who will get your vote on November 4? Maybe you need a new criteria on which to base your decision. Like food. Check out what your front-running candidates use for fuel.

Barack Obama goes for comfort food. A steaming bowl of chili is one favorite, and the folks at Eating Well magazine who dug up this news say they recommend for health reasons that this Democrat make his dish low in calorie and high in fiber -- check out this recipe. Running mate Joe Biden is a fan of Italian food. When he eats at home or dines out, he usually picks pasta -- a little penne with tomato sauce and basil gets his vote. How would Eating Well spice this one up? By using whole-wheat penne pasta and raw tomato sauce.

John McCain is a meat lover. Baby back ribs are tops for this Republican, who'd be wise to opt for a heart-healthy, oven cooked pulled-pork sandwich. And for his running mate? Does it surprise you that Sarah Palin likes a good moose stew? A hearty Flemish beef stew, made in a slow-cooker with beer for extra flavor, comes recommended by the Eating Well team

We're currently right smack in the middle of one of the most interesting presidential races of our time, and although trying to keep on top of the latest developments and deciding who to support may seem like a daunting and sometimes stressful job imagine what it must be like on the campaign trail for the candidates themselves. Running for President is an exhausting, stressful, "go-go-go" type endeavor and it can be downright hazardous to your health for a variety of reasons.

One of the more obvious health issues is the constant traveling combined with tightly packed schedules making finding time for working out difficult, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

How running for President is hazardous to your health:

Sleep deprivation
We all know how important sleep is for everything from being in a good mood to controlling your appetite and slowing the aging process, but for a presidential candidates it might be an even bigger deal that lack of sleep can also lead to memory slips, poor decision-making, and even inappropriate comments or outbursts.

"I do believe sleep deprivation has a lot to do with some of the edginess of Washington today," says Bill Clinton in the February 2008 issue of Austin Fit Magazine. Clinton, the man caught on camera nodding off during a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. service on January 21, may have a point.

Grueling schedules, dozens of speeches, endless travel, and up-all-night strategizing comes with a price: Lack of sleep. It's no wonder blank stares, fumbled words, and cranky moods abound for presidential candidates and their crews.

There's no hiding the fact that we all get tired and that fatigue can sideline the best of us. Logging a good amount of slumber then is key. There is just no substitute for sufficient sleep, according to this Science Daily article. Caffeine, other types of stimulants, and brief naps may help in the short-term but to survive for the long haul, sleep is the only answer.

Sadly, many of us don't get enough sleep. Check out these facts: About one in five adults fail to get enough sleep yet on average, most adults need about seven to eight hours each night to feel alert and well rested. An estimated 50 million to 70 million people in the U.S. suffer from a chronic sleep disorder, which can lead to cognitive malfunctioning and even weight gain. And a study published in the journal Sleep in 2007 used a gambling task to show that risky decisions can be more attractive to a sleep-deprived brain.

Good news: In the U.S. there are more than 1,400 sleep disorders centers and labs accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Hunt one down if you're in the market for a good night's sleep.

We're all human, which means we all have junk food weaknesses.

Ever wonder what the presidential candidates list as their biggest junk-food weaknesses? If so, you're in luck. TIME magazine recently published A Voter's Guide To the 2008 Election. Among topics such as the candidates' signature issues, their liabilities, and their most memorable childhood memories are their favorite sinful indulgences. Take a peek.

• Hillary Clinton loves chocolate ice cream
  

• Barack Obama craves French fries
  

• John Edwards: Give the man a cheeseburger
  

• Mitt Romney likes pie
  

• John McCain chooses sugared doughnuts
  
  

Not all candidates listed their junk foods of choice. Maybe they're holding back; maybe they're clean. What about you -- care to share?

Last week First lady Laura Bush toured through several different nations in Africa in an attempt to draw more attention to the $2.5 million dollar Global Business Coalition and its programs that are helping to fight HIV and AIDS, along with other ailments like malaria. 50% funded by U.S. corporations like Coca Cola, Johnson & Johnson, and the NBA it's just a small part of what the U.S. is doing to help. Congress has allocated as much as $15 billion dollars for fighting diseases abroad, and may as much as double that in upcoming years.

Education and awareness is key, and Americans seem more than willing to help. Laura Bush was quoted as saying "I think all of the programs we'll see that are supported by U.S. taxpayers are a good example of what Americans are really like."

It makes no sense, but it seems that as health care becomes a bigger and bigger issue in this country some of the people who should care about it the most, the doctors, are voting less and less. A study coming out of Johns Hopkins Medical School looked at different professions and much they participated in voting in presidential elections and found that although not at the very bottom of the list (laborers came in last) doctors are shockingly uninvolved in the political process. 1 in 4 doctors haven't bothered to vote in the last 3 presidential elections.

And guess who came in first, with the best turnout of all? Lawyers, of course.

Think you're too busy to exercise? If the President of the United States can bike and strength train most days of the week, you can certainly make time to do so. Lots of folks feel lots of different ways about George W. Bush, but the fact of the matter is when it comes to fitness he's the ultimate role model.

He knows that with an incredibly stressful job, two busy daughters and a wife to keep up with skipping workouts is not an option. He needs energy, stress relief, and physical strength to survive each day. Most people would consider being "the most powerful person in the world" an easy excuse to slack on training for four to eight years. Bush doesn't do it and neither should you.

When the pressure increases, you need your workouts more than ever. Get up early, go to sleep late, return to work stinky after a mid-day jog, but don't make lame excuses. Cause if George can do it, so can you!
