Abstract The purpose of this paper is to make a theoretical link between mindful eating, psychological health, and gender of young adults concerning health and well-being. The assessment of life satisfaction is a significant aspect of people’s psychological well-being that involves such domains as autonomy, self-realization, interpersonal relationships, and self-approval, which are crucial for estimating the state of people’s mental health. Knowledge and endorsement of what is ingested and how it is processed have been reported to be very effective in supporting healthy nutrition practices and eradicating eating disorders. It is essential to have such behaviors pointed out in young adults because this category of the population is especially susceptible to health hazards during this stage. Personal analysis shows that there is a difference between male and female participants when it comes to psychological health as well as eating habits; therefore, it is essential to examine gender influence on mindful eating as well as the psychological well-being of participants. To assess these variables, the current study employs standard and reliable tools like Ryff’s Psychological Wellbeing Scale and Mindful Eating Behavior Scale on 180 young adult respondents within the age range of 18-26 years. Moreover, demographic variables including gender concerning the relationships on top of depression, stress, and anxiety will also be examined either as the predictor or moderator. The first research question is to understand the direction of the relationship between mindful eating behavior, psychological health, and gender in young adults and the second is to understand whether these relations can be either buffered or exacerbated by specific factors. Thus, the purpose of the study will be to expand the current understanding of the particular strategy that can be used to promote the overall health of such population. In addition, the research will contribute to the database of health determinants concerning young adults and show that complicated approaches are required for individuals with healthy and unhealthy habits concerning their psyche and body.
