Eating healthy is a sub-optimal solution. Typically we see the most significant results with lifestyle changes + medical interventions and pharmaceuticals - more than either alone.

There's a strange belief, I believe most born out of morality, that medicine undermines discipline or healthy lifestyle. But it does not, they work in tandem, each making the other stronger.

It is true that taking medication is "easy" - not that easy, though. But easy != evil or immortal. If it's so easy, that's a good thing. It means we can stack it on top of lifestyle changes for very little marginal cost. If you're already working out and eating good, that's great. Go to your cardiologist and see if you're a candidate for statins or hypertension medication.
