Saltiest foods you can think of...

I have Dysautonomia and it's acting back up. It's a bit of an odd condition where my autonomic nervous system malfunctions (think blood pressure bottoming out as my heart rate increases which is opposite of what's suppose to happen).

Anyway - something that helps (or has for me) is increasing salt intake (to retain water & increase blood pressure).
I don't really need an excuse to eat chips, so I'd like to have some healthier ideas.

What ideas do you have?

    Canned soups, everytime I have one I go over my sodium intake just from one can.

    Also crackers like Saltines might be good, I don't remember the amount of calories in those, can't be much though.

    Pickles, sauerkraut. Saltfish and bacalao (caribbean fish, dried and preserved in salt). Veggies and protein, yum!

    I have to advise against ramen, as it is usually full of MSG and/or other flavor enhancing chemicals. Same for many canned soups...read labels.

    Beef jerky, pretty much any breakfast meat, pretty much any prepared soup, most frozen meals. Sodium is almost too easy to find, at least for me.

    Any kind of deli meat, olives or pickles, cheese (especially cottage cheese), whole grain crackers or bread, salad dressing and package rice/noodles. Chips actually don't have that much - it is on the surface though, so you really taste it.

    My parents always ate cantaloupe and watermelon with salt sprinkled on top. It's a healthy sweet with the salty lightly added to it.
