Learn about kidney stones, landscaping and identity theft today, all in one eclectic hour.

Today’s “Coffee Break,” a program aimed at people over 50 and focusing on diverse health and lifestyle issues, will show why kidney stones are more prevalent in the summer and what can be done about them. Then, a detective from the Los Angeles Police Department will demonstrate protective measures which can be taken against identity theft, one of the most frequent non-violent crimes in Los Angeles. Finally, a landscape artist will present tips on creating an indoor garden.

Dr. Peter Loisides, vice chairman of urology at Saint John’s Health Center, Detective Leanora Lindsey of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Financial Crimes Division, and Avarie Shevin of Landscapes Creative Garden Design will be the show’s featured speakers.

“Coffee Break” airs on Santa Monica TV (channel 16) and LA City TV (channel 36) every Wednesday from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m.
