- Cookie Martini: Laughter is Still the Best Medicine: Thursday, April 21 at 1 p.m. For decades, researchers have explored how humor helps patients relieve stress and heal. The sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle or sneeze. When laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness and intimacy. In addition to the domino effect of joy and amusement, laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen the immune system, boost energy, diminish pain and protect one from the damaging effects of stress.
