Foods to Avoid. When youâre feeling a bit wired, avoid foods containing caffeine, alcohol, sugars, and processed ingredients. Caffeine is a stimulant that can produce a jittery feeling that might amp up your anxiety.
The Ice Ages began 2.4 million years ago and lasted until 11,500 years ago. During this time, the earthâs climate repeatedly changed between very cold periods, during which glaciers covered large parts of the world (see map below), and very warm periods during which many of the glaciers melted.
During the present ice age, glaciers have advanced and retreated over 20 times, often blanketing North America with ice. Our climate today is actually a warm interval between these many periods of glaciation. The most recent period of glaciation, which many people think of as the Ice Age, was at its height approximately 20,000 years ago.
