Therefore, it is not recommended for healthy individuals to drink porridge for an extended period, as it can slow down gastrointestinal motility, increasing the chance of constipation. When drinking porridge, it should be based on individual circumstances. 
4. Skipping Dinner After Noon
Skipping dinner after noon has been a long-circulated health concept online. Nowadays, many young people who want to lose weight will skip dinner, and some elderly people will also skip dinner to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
However, this practice is not recommended. Skipping dinner for a period of time will cause the body to enter "energy-saving mode," lowering the basal metabolic rate. With the same energy intake, it is difficult for weight to decrease. Once eating is resumed, weight will quickly rebound. Additionally, even if dinner is skipped, stomach acid will still be secreted, easily scalding the gastric mucosa and triggering gastritis or gastric ulcers.
