Yes. Adding salt to your food can cause health problems such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular problems. An old traditional method of human suicideinvolved consuming a pound or so of salt! Salt was unknown by many North American indigenous tribes until the arrival of Europeans. Their natural diet provided them with sufficient salt, without any need for adding more, as does the diet of people of most other cultures in most regions of the world. Salt is needed in the diet, but a reasonably well-balanced diet already contains enough. Potassium chloride tastes like salt, and is among the modern commonly used salt substitutes for table salt (sodium chloride) for those on a low sodium diet, but salt substitutes have their own sets of negative medical side effects.
