Sharp bends result in higher values of inductive reactance (the opposition to the flow of alternating current), therefor the advice to avoid sharp bends. An effective ground connection will have low resistance and reactance.
This simply means that a large, short, straight wire will offer an easier path for current than a thin, long bent or coiled wire.
Don't worry too much, just make bends as gradual as you can tolerate cosmetically.
