How does exercise help prevent harmful stress?

The stress response is basically the body's way of preparing to defend against some kind of external danger. The chemistry of the body changes to prepare it for action, like increased heart rate, increased respiration. If a person experiences stress, as in harmful stress, it doesn't know what to do with the excess energy. So exercise helps to burn it off so it doesn't have negative effects on the body.
