I love Pork Crackling (which you may know as Pork Rinds or Pork Scratchings, depending on where you’re from).

Pork crackling is obviously mainly fat, which makes it the perfect Paleo […]
Unlike many other diets, the Paleo diet is renowned for the fact that it not only encourages weight loss but it can also help with a number of illnesses. One of such illnesses is arthritis which is caused by the inflammation of joints and is particularly common in females. Arthritis can occur in any part […]

Yet another possible deficiency is Co Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10), even on a strict Paleo diet. What is CoQ10? It actually assists with mitochondrial electron transfer and stress reactions that happen biochemically within the body.
