I have found that salt supplementation is necessary for both the athlete and non athlete if thier normal dietary practices are what they should be (meaning no or very limited processed foods.) The problem is with the water retention caused by the processed foods sodium among other things. For some reason the kidneys act differently with the processed salt and/or excess natural salt. If the kidneys are strained for whatever reason then your blood pressure is going to go crazy. Your kidneys are pretty key component to controlling your blood pressure. Dehydration also plays a major factor too.
The trick is finding that balance, however I do believe supplementing with Himalayan, or Celtic salt is beneficial and often necessary, usually it just takes a sprinkle or two daily or every other day.
