However moderate exercise (and stress!) stimulates the body to activate trash/repair/rebuild mechanisms which improve health overall.
EDIT:
For example, aerobic exercise stimulates capillary growth lowering pressure required for blood flow. Periodic, moderate fasting triggers the elimination of accumulated fats which might have toxins built up in them (or have oxidized) Healthy, emotional stress teaches us to deal with inevitable tragedies.

Exercise seems to stimulate the mechanisms it’s claiming stress depresses, so probably no.
But exercise does use lots of energy. Probably more than stress.
I guess the problem of exercise (intense but short) vs chronic stress (moderate but 24x7) could have a similar explanation.

The body is extraordinarily complex, so I don’t think you can extrapolate that to anything else that uses energy.
Any garden variety gym rat will tell you that when you worked out you eat a lot more. And that may be the same for stress, but perhaps what your body does with the energy when you exercise is different.

I had a somewhat similar question about exercise vs physically demanding work, since the former helps to have a healthy heart and the latter seems to do the opposite. Explanations I've found were tied to the average daily heart rate. Exercises are intense but it's only a few hours per week, and over time they tend to lower the average heart rate. Physical work is typically less straining but it takes a big portion of…
