Doctor: Medication to reduce blood pressure often has unhealthy side effects  However, lifestyle changes such as exercising more and avoiding fatty foods reduce blood pressure just as effectively as taking medication does
Ttherefore, it is healthier to rely on these lifestyle changes than on medication to reduce blood pressure
If an alternative to medication relieves a medical condition just as effectively as medication does, then it is always healthier to rely on that alternative than on medication to relieve that medical condition.
