Health is often measured in terms of the absence of illness.
However, a better measurement of health is physical fitness; that is the optimal function of the heart, lungs, muscles, and blood vessels.
For children, physical fitness does not require them to become star athletes.
It simple requires that they engage in regular exercise that involves four aspects of condition: flexibility, muscle endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular efficiency.

Every year in the United States over 13,000 patients with renal failure receive kidney transplants.
It is the second most common transplant operation in the country, with corneal transplant being the first.
A cornea transplant (keratoplasty) is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a donor.
Your cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped surface of your eye that accounts for a large part of your eye’s focusing power.
A cornea transplant can restore vision, reduce pain and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea.
Renal failure is a condition in which the kidneys stop working properly or at all.
It occurs when the filtration of the blood at the glomeruli either slows or stops.
In acute renal failure, filtration stops suddenly.
Acute renal failure can have many causes, such as decreased blood flow through the kidneys as a result of heart problems or blockage of a blood vessel, damage to the kidney by disease, the presence of a kidney stone blocking urine flow, or severe dehydration that sometimes occurs in marathoners and other endurance athletes.
Only about 10% of persons with kidney failure survive for at least 10 years on dialysis due to the stress that toxic waste products place on the body organs.
Many more persons with kidney failure survive for at least 10 years with a kidney transplant.
56% with a transplant from a deceased donor and 76% with a transplant from a living donor.
