Bring about 2 inches of water to boil in a large pan. Slice potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces and place them in a steamer (metal or bamboo) that fits into the pan without letting the potatoes touch the boiling water. Steam them for 7 minutes. For extra flavor, steam garlic and onions with the potatoes.
Intervertebral disc degeneration is one of the most common mechanical causes of low back pain, and it occurs when the usually rubbery discs lose integrity as a normal process of aging. In a healthy back, intervertebral discs provide height and allow bending, flexion, and torsion of the lower back.
Pain from the lower back is accompanied by weakness or numbness of the legs and even pain in the foot. For those who have desk jobs, there can be workouts that help you move and strengthen your lower back so as to avoid aching legs. Pain in the lower extremities may also be caused by other factors as well.
