SCIENTISTS are working on a pill that could help people lose weight, avoid diabetes and even hold off the effects of old age.
It is based on the discovery of a hormone released after exercise, which can reprogramme fat cells to burn energy instead of storing it.
A team from Aston University in Birmingham has found that the hormone, known as Irisin, can “predict” how quickly someone is ageing.
Irisin, which is naturally present in the body, helps increase the metabolic rate – the process by which the body combines calories in food and drink with oxygen to release the energy it needs to function.
