Tha mòran dhaoine a' cur coire air cleachdaidhean teicneòlais airson cho mì-fhallain is a tha daoine na làithean seo. Cuid a' suidhe a' coimhead air an telebhisean gun ghluasad, no a' dol tron fhòn-làimhe aca a' toirt 'likes' do dhealbhan gun a bhith a' dol a-mach dhan t-saoghal mhòr.

For what do many people blame technology?

Television not being so moving anymore

People being so unhealthy these days

People posting too many pictures

Tha dà thrian de dhaoine ann an Alba ro throm, agus tha seo ag adhbharachadh gu bheil iad ann an cunnart o thinneas an t-siùcair agus grèim-cridhe. Ach tha buaidh aig na fònaichean air ar slàinte-inntinn cuideachd.

What dangers are there for the two-thirds of Scots who are overweight?

Diabetes and heart attack

Cancer and heart disease

Kidney failure and arthritis

3

Tha iomadach duine air am beò-ghlacadh leis na fònaichean aca. Chan urrainn dhaibh a dhol mionaid no dhà gun a bhith a' beantainn riutha. Chì thu daoine ann an taighean-bìdh, agus cha bhi iad a' bruidhinn ri chèile oir bidh iad a' teacsadh is a' cur theachdaireachdan gu daoine eile.

When you see people absorbed by their phones in restaurants, what are they doing?

Rating the restaurant using apps

What questions does the writer ask?

Do you suppose there is a way we can use our phones to encourage good health?

Is there a way to stop this crisis in ill health?

Have you ever been encouraged by someone to take up a new hobby?

Fhuair Donaidh Moireasadan aplacaid an-uiridh airson ìoga a dhèanamh.

"Bhithinn a' cluich ball-coise airson sgioba ionadail ach ghoirtich mi mo dhruim agus cha b' urrainn dhomh cluich tuilleadh. Bha mi air fàs beagan ro throm agus thuirt caraid rium gum bu chòir dhomh ìoga fheuchainn. Cha robh clasaichean san sgìre, mar sin luchdaich mi a-nuas aplacaid ìoga dhan fòn agam."

Why did Donnie need to download a yoga app?

He hurt his knee and wanted to become more flexible

He hurt his back, couldn't play football anymore and had become a little overweight

He had an interest in Indian culture and wanted to get some more exercise

6

"Chòrd e rium gu mòr. Bha na bhidiothan furasta a thuigsinn is a leantainn ach bha aon thrioblaid agam, bhiodh sanasan-reice a' nochdadh eadar na bhidiothan. Cha robh sin uabhasach cuideachail nuair a bha mi ag iarraidh fois. Mar sin, chosg mi caogad not airson ballrachd bliadhna agus fhuair mi an aplacaid shlàn."

What difficulty did Donnie face to begin with?

The videos were too difficult at first

Adverts appeared between the videos

His phone was too old

Bidh bean Dhonaidh, Mairead, a' cleachdadh aplacaidean slàinte cuideachd.

"Is fìor thoigh leam a bhith a' ruith agus tha am fòn agam a' clàradh m' ùine, dè cho fad 's a ruith mi agus a' sealltainn dhomh cho math 's a rinn mi an coimeas ri na rinn mi a-cheana.

Records the weather conditions during her fitness session

Shows her heart rate

Shows how she did in comparison to what she did previously

Chan eil a h-uile aplacaid slàinte mu dheidhinn a bhith gnìomhach ge-tà. Tha Mairead ag obair mar innleadair choimpiutairean agus rinn i aplacaid Ghàidhlig leis an ainm Sìth. 'S e prògram a tha seo a bhios a' feuchainn ri daoine a chuideachadh le bhith a' gabhail fois nuair a tha an ceann na bhrochan. Tha e air a bhith gu math soirbheachail.

When is Margaret's own app, Sìth, useful?

To record your successes in exercise

In helping people to relax when their mind is in a muddle

In helping you make porridge and other healthy foods

Thuirt Mairead, “Tha ùidh mhòr aig daoine ann am mothachas na làithean seo agus bidh Sìth a' cuideachadh dhaoine le bhith a' meòrachadh agus a' cur an trioblaidean bhuapa. Bidh e a' cluich ceòl socair Gàidhealach agus a' bruidhinn riutha anns a' Ghàidhlig.

What is said about mindfulness?

People are very interested in it

It's a waste of time, you are better to exercise

It helps people get better

"Chanainn gum bu chòir dhuinn uile nas lugha de dh'ùìne a chosg air ar fònaichean-làimhe ge-tà. Tha sinn ro chleachdte ri bhith a' faighinn a h-uile càil anns a' bhad agus 's e fònaichean-làimhe as coireach airson sin gu mòr. Mholainn do dhaoine am fòn aca a chur dheth airson uair a thìde gach latha agus cuairt a ghabhail no leabhar a leughadh."

What is Margaret's advice to people?

Switch your phone off for an hour every day and take a walk or read a book

Don't expect to get fit straightaway

Get used to phones playing a big part in your fitness regime
