Going completely agains the advice your mother probably gave you, keeping well stocked on snacks is absolutely pivotal to survival. The new inventory function in GTA V Online allows players to carry a number of items beyond their weapons and, in absence of health packs and other stimuli, snacks are the easiest way to replenish your health. Available over the counter from one of the maps many convenience stores (provided you haven't just robbed the place) your best bet is to load up on as many of these as you can prior to undertaking any serious or challenging mission. They're virtually essential for completing the more gruelling heists as well. Once in your inventory, you can duck into cover and stuff your face with treats to bring your health back up, before diving back out guns blazing to resume the mission. The same goes for body armour now as well. Except you can't eat that.
