I use a lite salt (50/50 sodium potassium). I take 1g in hot water in the morning and afternoon.
When I eat meals I liberally salt and flavor my food.
I base this on advice from my PCP, and the PURE study which demonstrates a much higher salt range for health then conventional advice would have us consume.

That being said, I avoid processed foods as much as I can.
I'm also recommended salt by my cardiologist and neurologist, primarily to raise my blood volume. Without it my blood pressure may run low and I get less blood to the upper half of my body. I mainly get my salt by adding electrolytes in my water throughout the day since I also need increased water intake. Though, I may sprinkle a little iodized salt on my meals if I feel I need it.
