Upanishad means 'sitting down near', originally, there were 108 Upanishads.D. The term 'Veda' connotes 'knowledge' or 'wisdom'.E. The four major Vedas - Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharva Veda - are divided into subsections containing hymns to divine beings, their myths, liturgical instructions and philosophical treatises on the nature of the Self and the divine.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Many of us worry we're not drinking enough water, exercising enough or getting enough vitamins but sometimes we can overdo it. Salad leaves are an excellent low-calorie food. That said, you can't get by on the green stuff alone. Salad cannot provide us with all the nutrients we need to live healthily, such as protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats. Too much can also disrupt digestion and, in extreme cases, make it harder to absorb other important nutrients such as iron. Make sure you're keeping your salads balanced by adding things like avocado, olive oil or nuts and seeds and some protein such as chicken, fish, eggs or tofu. If salad is making up more than 50 per cent of your diet, it's time to rethink.

The idea that we need to be drinking eight glasses of water a day has led to many of us thinking you can't get enough. But drinking too much, known as water intoxication, can be fatal. Too much can lead to a reduction of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium in our blood stream. We see this quite often in people exercising excessively or who have problems absorbing nutrients - also in people who restrict their diet too much or have certain medical conditions. More than 2.5 litresa day is too much for most.

Getting enough sleep can feel like hunting for the Holy Grail but surprisingly you can have too much. Oversleeping can also be a risk to our health. Research shows people who sleep for nine to 11 hours a day are 21 per cent more likely to become diabetic, 38 per cent more likely to suffer from coronary heart disease and have an increased risk of death. The right amount of sleep will vary from person to person but seven to nine hours should suffice. Excessive sleep often goes hand in glove with poor lifestyle choices like overeating and a lack of exercise.

Despite its health halo, excess protein will be used to provide energy and is stored as fat if we eat too much. Protein contains exactly the same number of calories per gram as carbohydrate (4kcals/g) so we can easily eat too much. It needs to be balanced in our diet, like all the other nutrients. Most people need 0.75g of protein per kilogram of their body weight a day. If you're an athlete or trying to build muscle you can maybe get away with 1.7g per kilogram of body weight but anything above that will be used as energy or stored as fat. For some people, eating too much protein without the right balance of other nutrients can lead to kidney stones.
