If the thought of running on a treadmill makes you shudder, then you may soon have an excuse to avoid it altogether.
US researchers claim they have found a hormone that mimics the effects of exercise, allowing people to lose weight and regulate their blood sugar.
The hormone, dubbed MOTS-c, has been proven to work in mice and clinical trials on humans could begin in three years.
The discovery of MOTS-c - a molecule that acts as a signal for the body - was made by scientists at the University of Southern California.
MOTS-c works by increasing insulin sensitivity, allowing the body to more effectively process glucose sugars, researchers claim.

I won’t stop my daily exercising.
Every morning when I wake up, I do ten repetitions, up, down, up, down - ten times!
Then I do my other eye lid the same way.

I've taken to call my toilet "Jim", instead of "John".
I find it far more impressive to tell my friends that I went to the Jim first thing in the morning.

Many people refer to the toilet as the “John”. I’ve renamed mine “James”. And, yes, I go to the Jim, each and every day.

Some people get a stimulated appetite after vigorous exercise. Will this hormone do that, make you want to eat a lot? If so, will you need to counteract that response by taking an additional medication? Ongoing tests should reveal this.

And this is the last we’ll ever hear of it.Exactly. Would any logically thinking person ever believe that Novo Nordisk (for one) would ever allow a product to hit the market that would effectively scrap their insulin making and distribution business? Puhleeze.
They've spent countless millions to develop that process and will do anything to keep it humming along unchallenged.
