Not drinkng RO. How to fix that?

I'm reading up on the ill effects of drinking RO for extended periods of time (3mo+). We need the minerals that are being filtered out as well as the salt.
I've been trying to find info on how to easily put back in minerals into RO for long term consumption.
What do you all do? I heard there were filters, but Google hasn't turned up any or I'm using the wrong key words. All I've found is remineralizing water for making beer.
Anyone have a good reading website on this topic?

I knew there would be some entertainment on this thread

BTW - thousands and thousands of navy sailors drink distilled water while underway and distilled is much purer than sailboat RO water. They solve all health related issues from this by drinking lots of alcohol once they get ashore.
