To regain heath you can eat from trees the older the tree the more health you obtain from using it. You can eat from a tree by standing on it and hitting E.
Other items in the game can give you health back, such as crops.

Introductory Gameplay Guide

He will have multiple tasks for you to do, after you do each task talk to him again. After a while he will no longer have any tasks for you to complete and the tutorial is over. When the tutorial is over you have a choice, you can remain in Cloud World and hone your skills or you can make the jump down to the real world.
Jumping to the real world is very easy, you can either build a gate and attach it to the existing fence or cut it down with an axe. You can pick any piece of fence to cut or gate, it does not matter.
What You Can See
When you first log in you will be on Cloud World which is a tutorial intro to the game. You can see a 7x7 area around your dwarf in the middle of the screen. The squares around you are sand. Immediately beyond your field of vision there is a fence which encloses your own personal world, you are completely safe here. No other player can enter your area.
You can interact with the menu system to open or close certain windows that you want to see.
Also of importance in the menu under actions is a store will let you buy and sell items, you can also hire workers to do certain tasks for you too. When hiring workers you hire them by the diddy.

Establishing a Base
A base is where you will spend most of your time in game, especially at the early stages. You need to use the Map and pick a location to setup your base. Picking a good location is key. The sandy color are newb areas, and contain a portal in the middle. This portal can lead you to other newb areas. Outside of the newb areas you may setup a base. The brown lines on the map are other players fence lines. It is advised to pick an area that is large enough to do what you need but also easy to fence off. The map is huge each area is XXXXXXXXXX steps. When you find a place for your base you will need to travel there, this will take a while and is a slow process. Once at your base location you will need to fence it off so others can not get into it easily and disturb your future hard work. You do not need to fence off the parts of your base that touch water that is not shallow there are no boats in the game. Once you are fenced in base creation can start, you'll need to figure out what your going to do and how to organize it.
what to do after you have a base
Well from here you need to figure out what skills you want to use most and start doing that.
Forestry whittling and construction need lots of trees planted to level those skills. So you will need to plant lots of trees, at first a lot of your trees will die but as you get higher in skill more of your trees will survive.
Farming and cooking require a lot of crops to be planted.
Textile and weaving use a combination of Maso Bamboo and hemp depending on level.
All bases need a few things,fences outhouses and healing trees (trees that you will let grow old) you don't ever want to be to far away from these items.
