When you downshift while braking you have to heel-toe or else: You put to much stress on your syncromesh, you can lock up your tyres, and depending on how many gears you shifter you can go way over the redline which is not healthy.

Heel-toe eliminates all of the stress on everything. If you downshift while braking without heel-toeing its not good and very unhealthy.

You can also double clutch, but that requires more skill then heel-toe and is not necesary.

Or you can just learn how to ommit using the clutch and blip the throttle while in neutral on downshifts.
