Why is it healthy to strain your heart through exercise, but unhealthy to strain it through stress, caffeine, nicotine etc? What is the difference between these kinds of cardiac strain?

Something others have not covered:
Health is not just cardio.
Exercise = me feel strong = me feel good and empowered = me get better mental health.
Stress / Nicotine = me feel weak, underpowered to deal with my day = me cope = me get worse mental health, depression.
It is shown by studies that mental states do influence physical health. Immune system strength and variety of health metrics all go down as a result of stress and bad feelings. Your body and mind are closely linked.
