Why is it ok for a person to drink softened water but not ok to water plants with it (sodium level too high)?

We just got a water softening system installed and we’re told it was fine for us to drink but would kill our plants because of the sodium. I’m worried it’s not safe to drink.

When you water plants with it, especially potted plants all the minerals stay behind. Over time the minerals will continue to build up in the soil leading to very high concentrations of salt in the soil.
