The issue includes a fashion shoot with a 50+ model, the best beauty buys for mature skin, dating advice, tips for healthy eating and true-life stories about later-life transformations.

It also features content on how to be a super-ager and the truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

The issue also sees the introduction of Take a Break’s new column ‘Take a Break Voices’, featuring women from diverse backgrounds who will share their experiences in positive and inspiring ways. The first of its new regular columnists are Elizabeth Forbes-Stobbe, Tracey McCormack and Sunita Thind.

Take a Break Editor Rebecca Fleming said: “We have loved hearing our readers’ positive stories about later life – one of my favourites was about a 51-year-old who ditched marriage for a toyboy half her age and has never been happier! – and we hope this special issue will inspire everyone who’s 50+ to get the most out of every day.

"We’re also so excited to welcome Elizabeth, Tracey and Sunita to the Take a Break family and can’t wait for our readers to discover their insightful and inspirational stories and experiences.”
