    Communicable diseases are infectious diseases that can be transmitted between individuals through direct or indirect contact, while non-communicable diseases are chronic conditions that are not caused by infectious agents. Common communicable diseases include colds, flu, chickenpox, and HIV/AIDS, which spread through contact with infected individuals or carriers. Non-communicable diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are influenced by genetics, environment, and lifestyle choices. To prevent communicable disease transmission, proper hygiene practices like handwashing and vaccinations are recommended, while a healthy diet, exercise, and avoiding tobacco and excess alcohol can help prevent non-communicable diseases.
