OREANDA-NEWS Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he periodically turns to doctors, but not for the purpose of treatment, but to check his health.

He told about this during a conversation with the laureates of the State Prize of the Russian Federation, whose award ceremony was held in the Kremlin.

About the frequency with which he communicates with doctors, the president said in connection with the wishes of health in his address.

One of the winners of the state prize, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Sukhoi, wished the president to continue his training style. "Continue your style. We know that you do from an hour to an hour and a half what you need. I'm not going to talk about molecular biology right now, but it creates such an atmosphere inside the body that it gets rid of unnecessary cells. This is the best prevention," Sukhoi said.

"We will get rid of unnecessary cells," the president said in response to the toast.
