BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a hydrogen generating device, and more particularly, to a portable water generating device capable of drinking hydrogenated water regardless of time and place.

Hydrogen-containing hydrogen water has been known to have an effect of preventing and treating adult diseases such as cancer and diabetes, and studies are being actively conducted thereon. According to an analysis of water in France, known as Mirador de lourdes, as well as Nordic water in Germany and Tracote water in Mexico, the dissolved hydrogen concentration was found to be 0.3 to 1 ppm, which is several hundred times higher than that of ordinary drinking water. Based on these results, the industry is making efforts to develop a device that can easily drink hydrogenated water.
