If items are in a zig-zag pattern, we would say that they are out of alignment. It also supports us in being balanced. An imbalanced body, however, feels gravity as a stress. Consider the two buildings in the above illustration. The balanced and erect building has no problem with gravity.
Gravity is the force that makes the earth a foundation for the building in the first place.
The leaning tower of Pisa, however, is stressed by gravity. Since it is already imbalanced, gravity works to pull it down. It is the same with our bodies - if they are aligned, gravity is supportive.
