The affects of gravity on the the body has a lot to do with the center of gravity of the human body, the spine. This is why manual lifting is such a big thing. the bigger distance you hold an object away from the body, is the grater the object will weight. The lower back takes up to 50% of your body weight so if you weight is 120kg then your lower back is withholding 60kg of pressure at all times
You arms and feet (even more so) you toes work as counter weights to prevent you from falling over.
If you are in a place withe a greater gravity the earth then you might fine it difficult to stand and carry objects. If you have ever been on a ride where the floor moves and you have to walk across it try it with a backpack on full of weights and you will see the different amount you do use your body parts as counter weights. because you may have an extra 20kg on your back for example your body's gravity pull to the ground will increase and you will notice it is harder to move and keep your balance.

effect of gravity
binds us to the earth
explains the phenomena of revolution and rotation
Gravity determines weight
Gravity is a force that attracts bodies of matter toward each other. Therefore, it is a force that is everywhere there is matter.
We are attracted toward the Earth, and the Earth is attracted to us. The Moon has gravity, and it affects the water in the Earth's oceans, causing the tides. In the study of atomic particles, there is even a weak force of gravity between all particles.

The body is pulled down to the center of the source. Bones, muscles, tissues, clothes are pulled under more pressure than on earth. Can be very nasty if you go to a place like Jupiter.

All things being equal, the body weighs more, with all of the physiological ramifications of the energy requirements that go with that, including need of muscle strength, demands on the heart and circulatory system, etc.

We keep stable by our eyes, pressure receptors, stretch receptors + ears gravitational constant G 6.67.

strong gravity = need strong muscles
stronger gravity = become like raptail

lol depends how strong, i forget the main planet but if we went there we could not breathe so would not land on its surface

i think i read somewhere that i can cause problems with internal organs etc... and problems /w higher air pressure

you get compressed and so squashed down more.
