How did hunter-gatherers get enough salt in their diet?

Did they just find salt on the ground and lick it? Did they drink animal blood? Did they drink ocean water (I hope not)?

I’ve always wondered this since I was a little kid.

I think the general idea that a lot of their salt intake came from red meats. Otherwise, according to a bit of quick research, their high consumption of plants provided a bit of salt as well. I also read that humans would follow animals to salt deposits.
