The key at first is to walk, not sprint.  This will give you a lot more time before you're in trouble with your health.  Only start sprinting once your hydration and energy levels are full white.  Find something to open a can with, like a can opener, knife, axe, etc. and then loot the boats you'll find along beaches as they'll spawn food sometimes.

Once you have a knife, you can also kill and cook the wildlife, which will give you food for hours.  Also, kill all the infected you encounter as many of them will have food on them.

DayZ requires a lot of patience at first, but as you learn, surviving gets easier.

Depending where you are, if you cant find stuff to open cans with, make a stone knife.

Stone knife is made by combining two small stones.

Small stones can be found on dirt paths all over the world.

Good Luck!
