Hereditary diseases are diseases that your parents set you up for by having a mutation in the DNA in either the sperm or the egg cell. You cannot do anything about this, I know it sucks, but sorry. When you get "made" from that DNA, all your cells get that mutation too-so you start getting that hereditary disease.


Non-hereditary diseases don't really have anything to do with you inheriting a DNA mutation but they can be caused by a DNA mutation (some cancers). Or, you can get something like cholera from drinking water that's been contaminated with a specific kind of bacteria (from poop/other sources). There are many others like you can get liver "disease" from drinking too much alcohol. You cannot pass on non-hereditary diseases to your children through making them (put if you poo in water that they drink and you have Cholera, they will get Cholera.)


I hope this helps you.
