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.
The theoretical extent of these ice sheets during the ice age 1.5 mya is shown in white on the map below. (White area = maximum glacial extent 1.5 million years ago in the Pleistocene Epoch - Microsoft Encarta) Ice ages are said to have occurred every 150 million years, and last for at least 1 million years. According to the ice age theory, our current warm period will end with the beginning of another cold phase in 23,000 years time. Geologists claim that there have been 5 major ice ages. During ice ages the boundary of the ice sheet is hypothesised to spread and contract in cycles.
