You are now free to move about the cabin. The singing, however …
On one hand, I get it. For I, too, was once a child full of song. Some might even say overflowing. So when my TikTok feed offered me the viral clip of Delta Girl, or Moana Girl, or whatever nickname we've settled on, six days out from the incident — i.e. young girl delivers an unsolicited intercom performance of 'How Far I'll Go' to passengers on delayed plane — I found myself circling the proverbial emotional airport. It was, objectively, precious.

Coco Gauff And Madison Keys Battle For Semifinal Spot And HOF Legacy
US player Madison Keys (L) is congratulated by US player Coco Gauff after their women's singles ... More semi-final tennis match at the Rothesay Eastbourne International tennis tournament in Eastbourne, southern England, on June 30, 2023. (Photo by Glyn KIRK / AFP) (Photo by GLYN KIRK/AFP via Getty Images) When Coco Gauff and Madison Keys meet in the quarterfinal of the 2025 French Open, more than a place in the semifinal is on the line. A win puts Keys or Gauff one step closer to separating themselves from a crowded field of one-Slam wonders, players on the WTA Tour who have won one Major title. Keys leads the head-to-head against Gauff, 3-2 and won their only meeting on clay (2024 Madrid Open). Gauff is playing in her fifth consecutive French Open quarterfinal. Keys will be in the quarterfinal at Roland-Garros for the first time in six years. The victor will play the winner of the Mirra Andreeva vs. Lois Boisson quarterfinal match. Winning one Major title is a career-defining accomplishment. Many players with long, successful careers never achieve this. But winning two Grand Slam titles puts a player in another category and all but guarantees induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. In January 2024, after Aryna Sabalenka won her second Major, she spoke with the WTA about what it meant to no longer be a one-Slam wonder. "It's very sad that people call "one Grand Slam champions" that way. And of course, it was in my head, I didn't want to be a one-time Grand Slam champion," Sabalenka said. "I'm super happy that I was able to win two Grand Slams. And I really hope that I can keep building my tennis, keep getting better, and then hopefully keep winning." Currently, ten active players have one Major title: Gauff, Keys, Emma Raducanu, Sofia Kenin, Marketa Vondrousova, Jelena Ostapenko, Bianco Andreescu, Elena Rybakina, Caroline Wozniacki, and Sloane Stephens. Last year, Barbora Krejcikova emerged from the one-Slam wonder ranks when she defeated Jasmine Paolini 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 to claim her first Wimbledon title. During her Wimbledon press conference, Krejcikova said winning a second Major didn't change how she felt about her career. "No, I still feel the same. I mean, it's great that I'm a two-time major champion. It's something unbelievable," Krejcikova said. Krejcikova might not feel differently, but when she won Wimbledon, she stepped over the demarcation, separating one-Slam wonders from future Hall of Famers. NEWPORT, RI - JULY 22: Tennis Hall of Fame inductees Kim Clijsters of Belgium and Andy Roddick of ... More the United States pose for a photo following the enshrinement ceremonies at the International Tennis Hall of Fame on July 22, 2017 in Newport, Rhode Island. (Photo byfor the International Tennis Hall of Fame) There are few one-Slam wonders in the tennis HOF. Michael Chang won the 1989 French Open and reached the Australian Open and U.S. Open finals. Andy Roddick won the 2003 U.S. Open and reached the final at Wimbledon three times in the Roger Federer era. Roddick was also the No. 1 player. Gabriela Sabatini, who won the 1990 U.S. Open. However, she reached the final twice and the semifinals or better at 11 Grand Slam tournaments, often losing to Steffi Graf or Monica Seles. Chang, Roddick, and Sabatini are in the Tennis Hall of Fame. Even with a No. 1 ranking, like Wozniacki and Roddick, or sustainable success like Sabatini, a player with one Major title sits on the Hall of Fame bubble. Anna Ivanovic won the 2008 French Open, reached the final of the 2008 Australian Open, and held the No. 1 ranking. But although nominated twice, Ivanovic has yet to be voted into the Hall of Fame. Neither Gauff nor Keys has held the No. 1 ranking, so a second Major title is essential for Hall of Fame credentials. NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 09: Sloane Stephens of the United States embraces Madison Keys of the ...

(Photo byfor USTA) Gauff and Keys traveled similar paths to their first Grand Slam title. They were both teen phenoms with high expectations. Born in Illinois, Keys moved to Florida with her family when she was ten to attend the Evert Tennis Academy. Gauff was born in Atlanta, but her parents moved to Delray Beach, Florida, to support their daughter's tennis training. Gauff trained at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in France when she was ten. In her first Grand Slam final, the 2017 US Open, Keys lost in humiliating fashion to friend and fellow American Sloane Stephens 6-3, 6-0. Keys had 30 unforced errors, appeared overwhelmed, and wept after her defeat. Gauff played poorly in her first Grand Slam final, the 2022 French Open. Iga Swiatek defeated Gauff 6-2, 6-4. Gauff committed 39 unforced errors. After the match, like Keys, Gauff sobbed. However, Guaff and Keys have contrasting playing styles. Keys brings the power with a big serve and massive forehand. Although she said she likes playing on clay, Keys is less comfortable on the surface than Gauff, who won the 2018 French Open juniors title.

(Photo by) Keys captured her first Slam title by defeating two-time Australian Open champion Sabalenka. In Keys' post-match press conference after winning the Australian Open, she told reporters she had to recalibrate expectations. "I felt like from a pretty young age, I felt like if I never won a Grand Slam, then I wouldn't have lived up to what people thought I should have been. That was a pretty heavy burden to kind of carry around," Keys said. "I finally got to the point where I was okay if it didn't happen. I didn't need it to feel like I had a good career or that I deserved to be talked about as a great tennis player."

Conrad Williams Jr./Newsday RM via Getty Images) Gauff also defeated Sabalenka to win her first Grand Slam title, the 2023 U.S. Open. Gauff's win trounced the men's final in television viewership. But losing in the 2023 French Open was a wake-up call for Gauff. "Honestly, I feel like probably this French Open is honestly where it changed. Because I felt pressure to back up the final, and I obviously didn't. So I was, like, Okay, well, I've got to reset," said Gauff in a press conference following her U.S. Open win. "Then Wimbledon happened, and that was a tough, tough loss, because I thought I was playing good tennis leading up to that. " That was when Gauff made a coaching change. She hired tennis commentator and coach Brad Gilbert. She went on a tear in the hard-court season, winning. This year, at Roland-Garros, with four-time French Open champion Swiatek and No. 1 ranked Sabalenka on the opposite side of the draw, Keys and Gauff have a good opportunity to make the final. Last month, before the Italian Open, Keys spoke with reporters about how wide open tournaments are in the post-Serena Williams era. EASTBOURNE, ENGLAND - JUNE 30: Madison Keys of the United States shakes hands at the net after ... More winning her semi final match against Coco Gauff of the United States on Day Seven of the Rothesay International Eastbourne at Devonshire Park on June 30, 2023 in Eastbourne, England. (Photo by) 'I think part of it is because we've kind of lost some of our legends obviously. Like there's no longer Serena Williams in every draw where you just assume she's going to win,' Keys said. Gauff and Keys are three match wins from solidifying their legacy as a future Hall of Famer. Even reaching two Grand Slam finals separates them from fluke one-hit wonders. However, winning that second title erases all doubt and ends the one-Slam wonder slander.

12 Effective Ways to Relieve Bloating
Addressing the primary cause of bloating, engaging in light physical activity after eating, and identifying triggering foods may help reduce digestive symptoms like bloating and burping. Relieving bloating depends mainly on what caused it. If it results from a chronic condition or food intolerances, you may want to consult with a healthcare professional about management options. Before trying any remedies, it's a good idea to explore the cause of persistent bloating and accompanying symptoms. Here are 12 science-backed ways you can reduce or eliminate occasional bloating. 1. Identify the cause of bloating Gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and methane enter your gut when you swallow air and food. Food also ferments (causes chemical changes) in your large intestine, which often leads to flatulence (gas) and bloating. Possible causes of recurrent bloating may include: eating foods that contain compounds that ferment in your colon, such as fiber, sugar alcohols, and FODMAPs a food intolerance, such as a lactose or fructose intolerance swallowing excess air, for example, when chewing gum or eating with your mouth open fluid retention in the abdomen, for instance, due to heart disease or liver failure constipation imbalances in your gut microbiome, the ecosystem of bacteria living in your gut ileus, when the bowel stops moving food forward due to surgery, medication use, or other causes health conditions, such as IBD, IBS, or endometriosis a bowel obstruction, which may also involve vomiting and constipation psychological stress If you have frequent, severe, or persistent bloating, or if symptoms worsen and cause pain, it's important to seek medical advice. 2. Limit foods and activities that trigger bloating Some food and dietary habits may increase the risk of bloating. They include: certain fruits, vegetables, and grains some sweeteners carbonated drinks large meals Some foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can cause bloating but also provide essential nutrients. If you're introducing them into the diet, do so gradually to reduce the risk of symptoms. Waiting an hour before eating fruit or having a drink after a meal may also help. Drinking through a straw and chewing gum may also contribute to bloating. Keeping a food diary may help you identify which foods and habits cause your symptoms so that you can avoid them or manage your consumption. 3. Check for lactose intolerance Lactose is a sugar found in milk. Your body needs an enzyme called lactase to break down lactose. If you don't produce enough lactase to do this, you may have a lactose intolerance. With lactose intolerance, lactose passes through your gut, pulling in more water until it reaches your colon, where it's fermented by bacteria and releases gas. This may lead to bloating, stomach pain, increased flatulence, and belching. If you suspect you have lactose intolerance, reducing your dairy intake may help. However, it's best to speak with a doctor first, as dairy products also provide calcium, A and B vitamins, magnesium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, protein, and other key nutrients. Alternatives with lower lactose levels or no lactose include: yogurt aged cheeses lactose-free dairy products non-dairy alternatives, such as almond milk, although they may not have the same nutritional profile as dairy 4. Support regular bowel habits to alleviate constipation Constipation can lead to bloating because it can slow the outlet of gas as well as feces. Also, the longer certain substances spend in the gut, such as lactose, the more fermentation by bacteria can take place, increasing the amounts of gas. Ways of managing constipation may include: eating high fiber foods drinking plenty of fluids exercising regularly checking if current medications are making constipation worse using over-the-counter remedies asking a doctor about prescription medications It's best to add extra fiber gradually; otherwise, bloating might become worse until your body adjusts. 5. Try a low FODMAP diet Bloating is a common symptom of IBS, along with abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and constipation. Research has suggested that limiting certain carbs — fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) — may reduce bloating and other IBS symptoms. Foods high in FODMAPs include: Grains: wheat and rye Dairy: milk, yogurt, and cheese Fruit: apples, pears, mangoes, peaches, as well as natural fruit juices and dried fruits Vegetables: Brussels sprouts, cabbage, asparagus, onions, leeks, zucchini and green beans Pulses: lentils and legumes Other: sugar-free gum and honey In a low FODMAP diet, certain foods are eliminated for several weeks, then gradually reintroduced, monitoring their effect. It is highly advised that you start a low FODMAP diet under medical supervision. 6. Try probiotic supplements Some research suggests probiotics may help reduce bloating and other digestive symptoms by boosting the number and types of healthy bacteria in your gut. In turn, this may reduce bloating and other symptoms common to IBS. They are available as supplements but also occur naturally in some foods, such as: yogurt sauerkraut kimchi kombucha miso pickles Still, most studies have focused on people with IBS, and the evidence is mixed. The results may depend on individual factors and the types of probiotic strains they consume. 7. Eat smaller portions and limit salt and fat Eating large meals and salty or fatty foods may contribute to bloating in the following ways: Large portions may stretch your stomach and lead to the pooling of gases and solids in the gut. High levels of carbs in the gut that are hard to digest will increase fermentation and, therefore, gas. A high salt intake can lead to water retention in the gut, producing feelings of bloating. Fats and refined carbs take longer to digest. The longer they spend in the gut, the greater the chance of gas and bloating. Reducing portion sizes and limiting your intake of foods high in salt and fat, such as fried foods, chips, and chocolate, may help manage bloating. 8. Try peppermint Peppermint as supplements or in other forms may help with digestion. In a 2016 study, for instance, 72 people with IBS took 180 mg of peppermint oil capsules three times daily for 4 weeks. They reported improvements in bloating and other symptoms. However, more studies are needed to confirm the usefulness of peppermint for bloating. 9. Avoid swallowing too much air Swallowing excessive amounts of air, known as aerophagia, can cause bloating. You may swallow air if you: eat too fast chew gum drink carbonated beverages 10. Physical activity Light physical activity, such as walking or cycling, may help reduce bloating after meals, according to some research from 2021 that focused on people with IBS. Additionally, regular exercise can help manage stress, a risk factor for bloating and other abdominal symptoms. Other benefits of exercise include weight management and a lower risk of heart disease and other chronic conditions. Current guidelines recommend doing at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking. 11. Manage rapid weight gain Rapid weight gain can occur for various reasons and may increase the chance of chronic bloating. Some research suggests that 25% of people who have recently gained weight experience increased bloating. This may be due to visceral changes linked to digestion through the gut-brain axis, which links digestive functions with those of the brain. If you are concerned about sudden weight gain, it may be a good idea to speak with a healthcare professional. They can advise on underlying causes and provide weight management strategies. 12. Biofeedback Bloating often involves a physiological reaction in the digestive system. Typically, when you eat, your diaphragm rises and the front wall of your stomach contracts to create more space without pushing out your belly. When bloating happens, the diaphragm — a muscle just below the ribs — presses down on the stomach, causing it to protrude. It's unclear why this occurs, but one possible solution is biofeedback. This technique enables you to see how your muscles are reacting on a screen. By trying different movements, you can see what works well and what doesn't. Some research suggests it may help you retrain your muscles to prevent bloating. »MORE ON THIS: What to know about biofeedback Frequently asked questions What relieves bloating fast?

Bloating usually subsides as your body digests food, while additional body fat gain persists over time. When the bloating goes down, you will not notice that your weight may lower. If you lose body fat, your weight may fall. However, bloating often occurs with recent weight gain, and it's common in people with obesity, so they may happen together.
