Okay, if soft water is widely considered to be a significant cause of heart
disease, what's the simplest way of hardening a supply of drinking water in
a domestic situation where the supply is naturally very soft?

I thought it was only artificially softened water that some consider
unhealthy.

There is, I presume, no such thing. But there is naturally soft water.

Stupid waste of money. There isnt a shred of evidence that there
is any medical problem with naturally very soft water, most obviously
with water that is collected from the roof of your own house etc.

Add minerals!

As this is DIY: There is a "mineral water calculator".

One makes mineral solutions, using (checks): Plaster of Paris, Epsom salt,
Chalk, Baking soda, Table salt, Milk of magnesia, Slaked lime.

Then enter the analysis of your tap water in a spreadsheet, available form your
water supplier in many cases. Then select, for example, a precocious mineral
water from the lower Himalayas rich in salty tones, and the spreadsheet tells
you how much of what to add (or if your tap water already contains too much of a
mineral to get there from here).

Carbonation is an extra step.

Article, link to spreadsheet near the bottom:
http://blog.khymos.org/2012/01/04/mineral-waters-a-la-carte/

Alternatively, usenet participants can scape the kettle fur from their kettles,
water heaters, and bathroom tiles, and mail it to less fortunate
participants.... (This may require some carbonic acid to dissolve the minerals.)

Just eat some Beans and nuts.

green leafy vegetables in your diet.

Conversely, consuming too much magnesium typically causes diarrhea as
the body attempts to excrete the excess. High magnesium foods include
dark leafy greens, nuts, seeds, fish, beans, whole grains, avocados,
yogurt, bananas, dried fruit, dark chocolate, and more. The current
daily value (DV) for magnesium is 400mg.

The theory is that an excess of sodium ions (as opposed to calcium ones)
in artificially softened water is as had as eating a packet of crisps
every hour, although the amount of sodium in a pint of softened water is
about the same as in one crisp, never mind the whole packet.

i.e. there are three sorts of water:
Naturally soft = no carbonates.
Hard = calcium carbonates.
Softened = sodium carbonates.

Already do that and much more.

What do you mean "and much more"? A proper balanced diet gives you
all
that you need. Dark chocolate is a tasty way to get magnesium.

Black coffee from beans, black pudding, red snapper, kale, limes,
coriander, turmeric, lycopene, linseed oil, avocado oil,steak,
pumpkin seeds, beer, ostrich, and sweet potatoes.

Ah! that good old English favourite..... Ostrich.

Oddly enough, the only place you can get it is here.

We've got plenty.

What does it taste like, apart from, er, Ostrich?

Bit like dark meat from a turkey crossed with beef, or horse.

It's not bad, but somehow I never went 'gosh wow, I must buy more of that'

Same experience as eating hare. Yes, it's not bad. But I'd rather have
lamb..

OTOH venison is something I regularly buy, as are wild ducks.
