Could I rewrite this sentence like this?
People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.

It's OK, but sounds a bit awkward.

It sounds too formal, you wouldn't hear a native speaking like that (well very rarely). It would sound better as one of the following:
Forgetting about an argument is better for you than bottling it up inside.
Staying angry after a fight is bad for you.
Bottling angry feelings inside after an argument only makes things worse.
