Beets are a great way to help balance pH levels and to alkalize the body as well. The pH scale is used to determine acidity versus alkalinity, with 7.1 to 14 being alkaline and 7 being neutral. Most diseases live in an acidic environment, so your body’s goal is to be slightly alkaline- and many whole foods like fruits and vegetables help to achieve this.

Vegetables

Spinach is your best for increasing your betaine levels, since it is particularly high in this nutrient, with 645 milligrams per 100 grams. Beets are another good way to get your betaine, since they contain 297 milligrams per 100-gram serving. Try a side of spinach sauteed with garlic and olive oil, add grated or cooked beets to your salads or start your meal off with borscht, a Russian beet soup.

 Betaine in Animal Food  

Although meat and poultry aren't particularly good sources of betaine, many get a lot of their betaine from these foods bc they eat so much of them.


You don't necessarily have to eat betaine-rich foods to increase your betaine levels, because choline is a precursor to betaine. Foods high in choline, like chicken or beef liver, eggs or pork, can also improve your betaine levels.  You don't have to worry about getting too much betaine from foods.
