What are the benefits of squash?

i have always been curious.

Some have told me it has shit in that is good for the immune system.

i know it's a weird question but I'm trying to explore new foods and for some reason squash really appeals to me.

Lots of vitamin A, and the seeds work as a de-wormer (specifically pumpkin seeds, but possibly most winter squash seeds). I don't think there's much else specific that would help fight infections...
