Why do we fast one hour before receiving the Eucharist?

Starrs0,
It’s supposed to symbolize that the Body of Christ feeds you physically as well as spiritually. If you go right after a heavy meal you don’t have any physical hunger.
I believe that before Vatican II, the rule was no food after the previous midnight before receiving the Eucharist. I don’t think there were too many vigil Masses back then.
