You need good hygiene with your stools to prevent intestinal diseases like typhoid and cholera (usually that means toilets and a sewer system). Very rigorous hygiene on top of the basics does not add any protection, it may even make you more susceptible because your immune system will be less exposed to new antigens (see polio).

You can prevent some viral diseases by getting vaccinated against it, you need to vaccinate a large proportion of the population to stop a disease from spreading.

You can stop most sexually transmitted diseases spreading to (or from) you by practicing safe sex, but it is very near impossible to stop the spread on a population scale.

Non-Infectious Diseases like Heart disease can be reduced by changing lifestyles. That is very hard even on a personal level, and again almost impossible on a population level. However with enough state-sponsored sex workers, changing population lifestyles might just be possible.
