A team of Chinese scientists has found that betaine – a compound naturally occurring in the kidneys during long-term exercise – can slow down the ageing process.By looking at the key molecular pathways that help to reshape the physiology of the human body and delay ageing through exercise, they revealed that betaine acts as a core messenger in this process.
It prevents inflammation and the ageing of multiple organs by targeting and inhibiting an enzyme called TBK1.The findings not only shed...
