If your diet is varied, you will get all the salt you need from food, without having to add extra salt to your dishes, therefore, all the salt you add is more in your relationship with your palate and eating habits than with real needs of the organism.
Consuming a lot of salt can raise blood pressure, becoming, for some people, a factor of risk for cardiovascular diseases.
