what makes some stress to the body “positive” or even essential and other just negative?

As an example eating a whole cake is generally considered unhealthy and a bad kind of stress for the body do to excessive calories and the glicemic level increase. Same thing when it comes to not sleeping enough.

Exercising and other activities on the other side are seen as fundamental to live a healthy life.

What exactly determines the difference? Is it just a matter of whether or not our body can “improve” following the stimuli? And why does our reactions varies so broadly?

Exercise forces the body to use its very limited resources in a more efficient manner.

Efficiency is always good.

Flooding the body with a ton of sugar or alcohol or whatever else is kind of like a natural disaster hitting a town. It’s a giant mess that has to be cleaned up. That takes energy away from vital functions and makes the body less efficient.
