List some healthy mental stimulants please. More organic with less addictive or other side effects.

Exercise 

^ +1 

for me more resistance training than cardio, the later I find more draining rather than energising. 

No powder, pill, herb or stimulant comes even close to the stimulation you get after a good morning workout. From my experience everything except caffeine and to a small degree green tea is either completely useless or mostly placebo when it comes to mental stimulation although I haven't experimented with pharmaceutical-grade CNS stimulants like modafinil.

I want substances. 

Right now I'm not able to exercise due to back pain and some injuries.

berberine (if you can’t exercise), magnesium l-threonate, l-citrulline (NO vasodilation), l-theanine, Zn, B12

acetylcholine: α-GPC, lion’s mane, sunflower lecithin. serotonin: 5-HTP, ashwagandha. they are antagonist. beware of serotonin syndrome, overdose or interactions. reset tolerance with one or two weeks of pause ~monthly. not financial advice

Ya black pepper does make me feel a bit alert sometimes. Especially if I add it to tea. 

And orange juice does magic in raising my energy levels on lazy days.. 

Coffee as well. But coffee does make me jittery and sometimes insomnia. So I can't take a lot of coffee. 

Banana and yogurt makes me lousy. Apple too. 

I'm trying different foods in the kitchen to see what works organically in raising my energy levels through the day since exercise is not an option at least for next two months. 

So far Orange juice. I'm drinking tons of orange juice every morning to replace my low energy levels. 

Yesterday I tried tomato juice. I drank so much and puked throughout the day, pure horror, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Horrible tummy ache. It took 8 hours for the pain to subside. It was so severe that I was in tears for hours. I was praying the pain and acidity away. Now finally feeling slightly better. Won't make that dumb mistake ever again. No to tomato juice. 

I don't know of any other fruits and veggies that help.

@Tyler Robinson if you were looking for whole foods, you can try barberries, buckwheat (if not sensitive to oxalate), watermelon (l-citrulline), green tea, soy (zinc / choline), etc

researching https://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Supplements/ is a great way to learn about anecdotal feedback and side-effects. this youtube channel is also nice

Do you think visualizing exercise can cause as much muscle gain as actual exercise? I wonder

@Tyler RobinsonMost supplements are bullshit, don't go down that road. Your best shot is racetams. I didn't try them personally but they seem to be strong and effective. There is also adrafinil.
